“Fabulous place”
House was absolutely fantastic! Spotlessly clean and immaculate throughout, very well equipped. Don't think I've stayed anywhere that provides so much in the kitchen, lovely touch of a bottle of bubbles on arrival. Close to amenities and house had plenty of space for a family of 8 with 2 dogs to spread out.

“Excellent facilities and warm welcoming home”
Poppy house is such a lovely warm welcoming house, with 2 toddlers and a 5 & 8 year old it had so many facilities for children (even the toddler toilet seats!). We had 6 adults and 4 children staying and there was more than enough room and a very short walk to the beach. The kitchen was perfect size and plenty of seating, we couldn’t believe all the utensils available as usually rentals are a bit sparse but there was everything we needed and more. A lovely stay in a lovely house!
