Really great cottage with an amazing view that's got everything you need if you have a young family. High chair, stair gates, toys, dvds, kids cutlery, floats and inflatables at the pool and the games room etc all make for a great stay for the whole family.

This was a wonderful holiday and we would recommend it to anyone. The cottage was so well equipped we had everything we needed and more. It was so peaceful with beautiful views, add the that the excellent pool, playroom and park and we didnt feel the need to go anywhere for half our days! Gorgeous beaches 25 mins away, we would recommend BroadsandsRead more, and the farm shop 8 mins away in the car was fantastic. We really felt the owners loved their cottage and so did we. We would happily go back. Hide
