Sink into the embrace of quality couches while relaxing with complimentary Netflix, or engage in our range of family games or seaside adventures with our complimentary bikes and surfboards. We've left no stone unturned, ensuring your comfort is our top priority.

For fellow coffee enthusiasts, savour the delight of freshly delivered coffee beans each week, complete with a grinder and manual machine, accompanied by foolproof instructions for those still perfecting their barista skills.

Great house and location!

We loved our stay here. The house is really well kitted out, with everything we needed. We enjoyed the firepit, the bbq, the many different relaxing spaces in the house and the great coffee. We were lucky to have fabulous weather so spent lots of time at the beach, only 5 minutes walk away. The outdoor shower was handy for rinsing off the sand. We accidentally left a much-loved soft toy behind and Lucy messaged as soon as it was found, offering to post it to us. Thanks Lucy!

Modern house with large kitchen / lounge

Well planned house with upstairs parents room and two seperate areas downstairs. Modern kitchen with everything you need, including extra wide oven. Well equipped. Upstairs bathroom was perfect, downstairs shower room not ideal as no hooks or benches and door did not shut. Laundry tub to be used as a basin in laundry not well situated. House fully fenced and easy walking distance to beach.

Well equipped for a family gathering

Check in details were clearly explained. Kitchen was very well equipped. Great range of toys, books and games.We didn't realise the larger bedroom was on a mezzanine floor - this meant it was above the kitchen and quite noisy when settling small children at night.Our dog enjoyed exploring the large, well fenced block.

Thank you Lucy and Raymond, your property was very relaxing, clean, tidy and exactly as shown at booking.Having the chill out space next to bottom bedroom was brilliant for our young miss 11, nice and quiet for herself and her puppy. Nice evening walks to beach close by.
