    We had the most lovely holiday here for my husbands 50th birthday. The swimming at the beach is perfect and very safe and the sand is lovely to walk on, compared to nearby places where it is rocky and not suitable for barefeet. The bed was comfortable and we loved the ceiling fan, so good on a hot night. Everything was as described and it was really hard to leave (even the dog was whining when we packed up to go home!) We hope to visit again if you will have us!

    Fantastic spot and a really neat batch. Cushla was an awesome host and answered all our questions, was super friendly and even let us check out late. We will definitely be back.

    Fantastic comms with the host from the outset and a lovely place to be based. Perfect to have a fully fenced yard for our dog and to be able to put kayaks in the estuary just metres from the gate. Property is clean and well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

    Such a nice spot with fab views. Bach very comfortable including the bed. This bach really has everything you need and more. Enjoyed the spa pool especially since the weather not great. Was great to be able to take our 2 small dogs and have a fenced in section. Cushla very easy and responsive to deal with. Hope to visit again some time.

    The most perfect place to get away from it all and really relax and wind down. The bach has everything you need for comfort including a large fenced section for the doggies. We loved exploring the dunes and coastline. The spa was the cherry on the top. Loved it. Thank you. Sara
