The Beach House sleeps 6 Adults / children with 3 large bedrooms, a ground floor bedroom with a king-size bed, an upstairs bedroom with a super king bed and a third bedroom with two single beds. The Beach House was totally re-built in 2014 and extends to some 138m2, the property benefits from double glazing and heating by way of a Mitsubishi air to water heat pump supplying underfloor heating to the ground floor, supplemented by a log burning stove in the open-plan living room/kitchen.
