The best moment is coming home from the beach and looking down to house and garden from the top of the dunes. The kitchen is very well equipped, the beds are excellent (sleeping 9 hours an more without back pain!). Due to the thick walls one should be aware that the wifi only works at some places: living room, kitchen, bathroom, through the window in the garden; but e.g. not in the room with the double bed. Many thanks for the excellent communication with the owner as well as the caretaker. This house is really worth the money! ##### Juergen G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aisling K. 6 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### New Year Stay We had a wonderful few days at The Dunes. The Cottage is small but that made it all the cozier. You could not want for anything in the Cottage and Dee had gone to a lot of trouble to put up Christmas decorations and give us a welcome feel. We got excellent weather, so we spent a lot of time walking on the beach. My dog Jessie also had a wonderful time playing int he garden and on the beach. I would definitely recommend the Cottage for a stay and would hope to return again sometime. Thank you Dee and her Manager, Mary. ##### Aisling K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### April S. 27 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Dunes Our hostess was so accommodating and everything was charming! ##### April S.
