Amazing house and very modern. Loads of space for a family of 4 to spreadout - felt like home from the moment we arrived with a great outdoor seating area that catches the afternoon sun. Saw the coast, popped to Scotland and the north lakes - so a superb location

Everything was absolutely spotless and the bungalow had everything you could need for a lovely stay. The quality of decoration and the thought put into everything was probably the best we have experienced in any holiday rent. It was a pleasure to stay there and a shame to leave. Thanks!

Excellent. Very clean, well equipped bungalow. Plenty of room to move about even with a walking frame. Comfortable, warm and cosy even in January during storm Eowyn! Maybe a little close to the main road for some who are not used to traffic noise.
