Cooks Crib is situated on a large flat site just off the main road with plenty of room for the kids to run around or pitch a tent. Two bedrooms will comfortably accommodate up to five guests here at Cooks Crib, while in the sleepout with the extra beds makes it 11, we do suggest though that as there is only 1 toilet that we limit the number to 6 adults & 5 children which is still perfect for a family group. The family bathroom is in the main house where there is also a laundry with washing machine and efficient heat pump technology completing this ideal set-up. When everyone gets home off the beach, the onsite outdoor shower is just what you need to rinse off any sand that made its way home with you.
