lovely beachfront stay
glow worm proximityeasy accessfriendly staffprivate deck
i loved that the glow worm dell was just across the road it made for a simple evening activity. the location provided easy access to the beach and i enjoyed the short drive to groceries and the atm. the staff was very friendly they helped. i really liked the private deck area to relax and listen to the ocean.
the chalet i stayed in could benefit from some interior lighting upgrades it felt a bit dark at times.

the chalet provided a kitchenette complete with a stovetop and microwave for convenient meal preparation. i found the inclusion of dishes and glassware practical. farm animals, like alpacas, added a unique charm to the premises.

really good beachfront stay
immediate accessanimal farmself-catering options
I was impressed with the immediate beach access. It made morning walks easy. the animal farm was an unexpected bonus, and i enjoyed seeing the goats and llamas. the self-catering options proved very useful, and the laundry access allowed me to pack light.
the heater made some noise. however, this was manageable due to a supplementary heating unit.
Dining

The self-catering facilities included a stovetop and a microwave oven. plenty of dishes and glassware were provided. These made meal preparation straightforward and efficient. a good range of utensils was also available
Rooms
