We had a wonderful stay at Wildwinds celebrating my 60th birthday . The bedrooms were beautiful and comfortable, and the large communal area was perfect for our group. The dining table easily seated 12 people, making meals together really enjoyable. The games room with Nintendo and garage featuring pool table, table tennis and darts were fantastRead moreic additions and kept everyone entertained. The hot tub with colourful lights was used day and night.The kitchen was very well equipped with two large fridges, plenty of crockery and cutlery, and even huge pans suitable for cooking for a big group. There was also lots of space for people to spread out and enjoy some quiet time when needed. The views were stunning and the setting was incredibly peaceful apart from the occasional sounds of sheep, horses, and rabbits nearby, which just added to the charm. Although the roads leading to the property are quite narrow, so drive carefully. A perfect place for a large family or friends gathering. Hide

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Wildwinds. Wow, what an absolutely incredible property which has been finished to a very high standard. The property and all the bedrooms are very spacious. The beds were also very comfortable. The upstairs playroom in particular was definately a lovely surprise for our 2 year old grandaughter. The propeRead morerty as the name suggests is a little exposed to the elements, but we were very warm and comfortable throughout our stay. We were sad to leave and hope to be back in the not too distant future. Hide

This house is amazing! Couldnt believe our luck when we stepped foot in there, the pictures dont do it justice, its gorgeous in real life. Absolutely loved the open living kitchen area, there was enough room for all of us to relax and not feel on top of each other. Well equipped kitchen. Hopefully we will be back next year! Thankyou!

A large modern and well appointed house which is great for a family gathering in the country which is also near the coast and has sea views. The main room provides a fantastic venue for a celebratory party or large social gathering. The kitchen is well appointed for catering for large numbers with three ovens, one of which doubles as a microwaveRead more. There is a large fridge, freezer drawers and additional fridge drawers.
