A nice property with comfortable beds and an excellent shower. The garden is good for dogs unless you have an escape artist - we kept ours on a long lead! The main road is a bit noisy but we loved seeing the trains. Although the property was generally very clean Ive given a lower score as when we arrived there were two filthy pans in the cooker, Read moreone thick with fat, and the cooker needed a good clean.

Wonderful stay at Rowan Bank. Well equipped with everything we needed for a lovely weeks stay. Ideally located close to the station and village centre with easy access to the beach. As per advert lots of steps to access bungalow and a tiered garden but well worth the trek up the garden for the views! All in all a wonderful stay!
