Fabulous dog friendly house. Booked for a family get together and was ideal. Lovely rooms, comfy beds, fully equipped and lots of space for entertaining and accommodating 7 of us and 3 small Westies. Had a fantastic time. So close to the town and beach and great location for visiting nearby towns and villages.
