Uninterrupted sea views on NC500

Chandan KumarRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Can’t describe how beautiful the location is . The house is so beautiful and the view is breathtaking . We were welcomed by golden rays of sun and a rainbow . Sarah is the loveliest and warmest person I have ever met . She personally helped us know everything about the house. The kitchen is very well equipped. Kids room was so much fun with colourful lights , they had so much fun. Due to lack of time we couldn’t enjoy the hot tub and many more things like walking down the shore or the area. We just laid down and soaked in as much as we could. Overall this stay was amazing and definitely made our NC500 memorable.

A serene coastal landscape is depicted, featuring a sandy beach bordered by rolling green dunes. Gentle waves can be seen lapping the shore under a cloudy sky, while a seagull is captured in flight above the water, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere of the scene.

Spent 2nights at Marilyn's chalet, and have to say, we were so glad we chose here to stay. The accommodation was everything we needed and more! Marilyn was on hand to give advice on the surrounding area and was the perfect host. The location was 2 minutes away from the most amazing beach, we hope to be able to visit again in the near future and wouldn't stay anywhere else.

We had a lovely stay at Linda’s cottage. The welcome package was so thoughtful, and we truly enjoyed our time there. The view from the cottage is stunning, and the walk to the beach idyllic. Would wholly recommend for a stay where you are looking to disconnect! Fires at night were cozy, and reading outside during the day. Thanks again for everything!

Lovely place to stay, felt very homely. Wonderful views and even better that there were no neighbours in the immediate vicinity which our reactive doggy appreciated, along with the big enclosed garden. Would definitely stay here again, well worth the price paid.
