The location of the Beach House is incredible. There's something special about the walk through the dunes to this magical beachfront hideaway. Each step takes you closer to holiday-mode.
The house is tucked away through a wrought iron gate and as you walk along the beautiful garden path, the sense of being 'away from it all' is tangible. The house itself is simple enough to make for the kind of holiday living that we appreciate as a family, whilst having everything we needed. And the view...we've stayed in some nice places over the years, but the view from this place is unsurpassed in our experience. To lie in bed and watch the sea and listen to the waves was incredible. Our final day at the property was incredibly windy, but this just made for an even more interesting view, as kite-surfers took to the waves and entertained us with their antics. That epitomised the location really - despite being remote and peaceful, we never felt isolated. People walked their dogs on the beach, paddle boarders drifted by, fishing boats chugged out to sea at dawn, and surfers and pilot gigs meant there was always something to watch.
Communication with Nicola was exemplary. We broke down en route, arriving 24 hours late, and she gifted us an extra night! And then there was the birthday cake and card for my wife, the Father's Day message for me and the encouraging words for our daughter's gig at a nearby hotel. So thoughtful and kind.
What could have made it better...?
Another week or two!
