Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked away in the countryside yet just ten minutes from Maidencombe beach, this home offers up the best of both worlds. With three bedrooms, one of which is perfect for children with its bunk bed setup, this home is ideal for families – and your four-legged friend can join in on the fun, too. The wi-fi can be patchy here because of the rural location, but with a hot tub to occupy your time and the coast on your doorstep, surfing the web is likely to be the last thing on your mind.

Home truths
We recommend a car to get the most out of your stay. From the road, there's a fairly steep drive which curves to the right and down to a large parking area for several cars. It's worth noting that some local roads are narrow and single-track in places with passing points.
Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay.
The wi-fi can be temperamental here due to the rural location. It might be worth bringing a personal hotspot device with you if you know you'll need to access the internet. There's limited 4G and 5G mobile reception.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
There's some wear and tear to the kitchen floor.
