A hidden gem. Beautiful home with really thoughtful gestures. We could have easily spent our whole week enjoying the breathtaking views of Newark bay. Dogs, children and adults were perfectly catered for. The house was so warm and comfortable it provided us with an ideal base from which we could explore. With a kitchen better equipped than our own, we were able to make the most of fresh food. We have returned home already wishing we were back! The best accomodation we have ever stayed in!
