A delightful property to behold during your holiday break with the family, exuding a homely feel with neutrally designed rooms, dressed in a nautical theme of coastal blue and white.

Relax in the sitting room which is comfortably furnished with a cosy arrangement of seating around a warming electric stove delightfully placed within an inglenook fireplace.
Eat your family meal in the well-presented dining room or in warmer months move the socialising out onto the decking and soak up the evening sun with a few glasses of wine.
