Just back , and had a really good time. Weather variable but still managed 3 afternoons on the beach with plenty else to see/do within a short drive and on the farm itself. Enough privacy per cottage but plenty of facilities for the kids - play ground , trampoline , indoor soft play barn, pool, tennis. We found some basics in the kitchen (washing up liquid, Cif, dw tablets and dishcloths)and sufficient cooking equipment. Worth knowing there are some communal washing machines and dryers plus a selection of dvd's and games should the weather be iffy. You can borrow all sorts of essentials too - spades, buckets , fishing poles, body boards etc. Wellies a necessity though , especially if you are planning to feed the animals, visit the lake and zip wire or walk down to the village as path is v muddy. Crocs won't cut it, lol !!
