We had a really lovely stay at The Sheilings! The location is perfect-just a short walk to the beach and the village shop with a bar by the shoreline. The place itself is superb, especially if you're bringing dogs, with a lovely outdoor area. Even in December, the hot tub was warm, cleanand ready to go. Inside, the space is great for families, equipped with everything you might need. Paul was really helpful too, making sure our stay was smooth. Would definitely visit again!
