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.

Gorgeously looked after hideaway

From the initial conversation with Dee (the owner) and throughout my stay, everything was perfect. The Dunes is a wonderful bolthole and only a few moments stroll onto the gorgeous Balinesker beach.
