The farmhouse is beautiful and has lovely views. Good parking immediately outside for one car and large car park nearby for other cars. We had a great week exploring the local area and beaches. there was a small garden with a picnic bench and small barbecue. Good cooking facilities.

The property was extremely spacious and very clean. It was an ideal venue as a number of beaches and attractions were within a 30 minute drive and the list of places to eat was very helpful. The use of the indoor pool and games room was a real bonus especially when holidaying with young children. A lovely place to stay, I would happily stay in thisRead more house again. Hide

A spacious and comfortable house ideally suited to our extended family group. The boot room was excellent for our 2 dogs. Good location for easy access around the coast. Swimming pool and amenities were superb, clean and well maintained.
