Perfect place for a relaxed weekend away

Our family weekend away to catch up with friends was made all the better for staying here. Location is great with delightful sea views, the house is well presented with everything you need. The added bonus of being able to have our dog with us too was amazing. Thank you we hope to stay there again.

Cosy little cottage with a spectacular view of wye Beach and only a 5 minute walk down to the beach and the general store. Maureen was lovely and easy to deal with and flexible with our check-in time. A great spot for a little family get away.

Beautiful veiws

Property was well stocked with essentials needed. Clean & tidy. Short walk to the beach and beautiful views. Only downside was property is stated as pet friendly but back yard is not fenced. Also the front balcony has a lean which felt a bit unsafe.

Excellent weekend awau

This little house was a lovely, warm winter escape. The wood fire was a highlight, and it pumped out the heat! We weren’t cold at any stage. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds very comfortable (with electric blankets), and beautiful ocean views from both bedrooms. The back patio area can be blocked off to stop dogs wandering but the grassed area was unfenced. An easy five minute walk to the beach, and an extra minute over the bridge to the store or pub for dinner. We had such a lovely, relaxing stay…I look forward to another winter break there again.

We loved Kenmaure. It was great to be able to take our dogs. It was cosy and unpretentious, has a wonderful ocean view, particularly from the dining table, and has everything you need for a holiday away.
