Loved it!
Our family of four (two boys aged 4-6) loved The Red Buoy - enough space and good that it’s separate from the main house as the kids weren’t quiet!
I'd liked to have stayed longer to explore but most time was spent enjoying the lovely surf, beach and child friendly stream that runs alongside. We saw the best sunset ever on arrival as the bay faces due west.
From reading the amenities list/reviews we were looking forward to accessing the beach directly through Glencoe’s enchanting wild garden, slate steps and driftwood gate - especially handy for quick visits to The Red Buoy’s toilet for our 4 year old and for carrying body boards. Instead we were a bit disappointed when Jane directed us to the beach via her driveway, main road and lane that runs past the shop next-door. Perhaps she was concerned about the kids slipping on the steps but we all enjoyed using the charming ones we encountered.
The flat was cosily furnished with beach finds, comfy beds and country throws, a well equipped kitchen and good shower. The bathroom roof let the sun in to help dry swim wear. I loved Jane's artwork and 3D frames made from driftwood and wrecking items.
No tv/phone reception but wi-fi worked and the boys were happy with children's dvds kindly provided, along with kids’ surf boards, plenty of loo-roll and local info.
Jane is forthcoming and The Red Buoy is an absolute delight - we didn’t want to leave and would stay again in a heart beat, although we need to practise reversing!
