Peaceful sanctuary with spa pool - place to unwind

JodyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This is the second time in the space of about five months that our team has worked and stayed here. Our Senior Leadership Team came here back in January to do some planning for the year and knew then that we would be back. The home is exactly what we need in that has lots of space, beautiful surroundings to walk around when you need a break, and a spa pool for recovery after a long days work. The kitchen is well stocked and spacious, which meant we were all able to pitch in at meal times without getting in each other's way. Alice is a great host, very friendly and really responsive in her communications. We will definitely be back, so I don't really want to recommend staying here in case others book it when we want it. 😁

Luxury at the Beach

StevieRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Our DnD group stayed here for a weekend game and it exceeded expectations. We checked out this morning and have already booked another weekend at this spacious bach. Great living space for your group to hang out, well equipped kitchen and plenty of bedrooms. We definitely appreciated being able to grab extra trestle tables from the garage for our tabletop setup. Lindsay was highly responsive to queries and the whole booking process was perfectly straightforward. One of the most affordable places for larger groups without couples who need plenty of rooms and beds, and the increase for extra people was reasonable which is hard to find these days!
