It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience, and we’d happily visit again. We had a wonderful stay over the Easter weekend! The place was clean, comfortable, and perfectly suited for our family. The atmosphere was relaxing, and everything we needed was provided. We felt right at home. We’d definitely come back again and highly recommend it to other families looking for a peaceful getaway. We just had an issue with the TV; I was under the impression that the TV on the premises was a smart TV, so we decided not to bring our decoder with us while travelling as we were going to stream, but the TV was not able to.

Thanks for staying with us and letting us know about the TV. We will investigate what the problem is, as it is a smart TV.

Quiet and close to everything, walking distance from the sea and everyone is so friendly. Very nice place, clean and tidy. Would book at Laid Back Beach House again anytime, booking was easy and the staff are always willing to help where they can while you are checked in.

Restful. The cottage's best attribute is its ideal location, especially for the dogs who travelled with us. It is a comfortable, non-pretentious beach cottage, which is what we were looking for. It has some limitations (lack of an inverter), and we were expected to use the sheets and towels provided for our entire ten-day stay. Also, a cold and wet spell in the middle of our stay meant we looked for a heater or extra blankets, neither of which were provided in the house, unfortunately.

Thanks for the review. I do hope you took the opportunity to make a fire for the colder days. The home does have a washing machine should you have wished to do any washing of towels, etc. during your stay.

Had a lovely family vacation. The house was exactly as described. The house was big enough for the whole extended family. Just come prepared for extended periods of power outages. House has a few lights but no gas to cook on. We had a great vacation. Lovely walks on the beach each day. Short drive to the shop. House is not fancy but has everything you need.
