I'll write both positives and not so positives. The house is very clean and you have all you need for a nice stay; however they have very odd rules in the house and the location has it's problems: - parking is big enough for 2 cars, but if you like to keep your car clean you'll struggle as the allocated space is under a tree full or birds. - the neighbours were fine but they have an incredibly aggressive dog. - the hot water is on a timer so you don't get hot water throughout the day. I tried getting them to tell me exact times for the hot water but they didn't tell me. It might not be an issue for most people but with kids I felt we were rushing as I didn't know when hit water would run out.

Great AirBnB - well designed interior, well stocked kitchen for cooking equipment and opposite a beautiful field. It's a peaceful area. Just to warn the neighbour has two barky dogs when you go through the gate to the back door of the property but they do try their best to stop them barking and they weren't there all the time. We booked a cot but they didn't tell us they didn't provide bedding so we had to sort that out whilst there which was a challenge and an extra cost as we didnt pack any. Other than that, highly recommend

House itself was lovely inside, nicely decorated, has the space and everything we needed and was nice and clean. The location on the main road meant road noise most of the time unfortunately but we had a nice stay. Good location in terms of visiting the coast.
