Chalross was perfect for a family holiday, plenty of room, nicely but practically decorated and the equipment was of good quality. Space for everyone to be together and quiet corners too. The play room was very popular as was the tranquil garden with a super barbecue. Great location with a corner shop, three beaches, a pub and The Pig on the Beach Read morewithin walking distance.

A beautiful house with lots of space ideal for our group of three families. As a dog owner I like to stay somewhere with walks on the doorstep and the location meant I didnt need to use the car at all to get somewhere beautiful. Very happy to stay somewhere stylish and dog friendly. The kids in our party loved it too.
