A very comfortable cosy home that has been decorated tastefully. All the necessary amenities. The beach is just lovely and sunsets out of this world. I would highly recommend this beautiful home.

Nothing at the front but sea mountains & sunsets, with the Lake District mountains behind! We will DEFINITELY be staying here again. Hide
