Lovely property close to the beach and train station not much in the surrounding area but there is a convenience store in the village, perfect if youâre looking to get away from it all, property is very well equipped with some very thoughtful touches including the lovely welcome pack, only minor irritation was next doorâs dog that barked constantly all throughout the day but obviously out of the control of the people who own the holiday lets hands

We particularly enjoyed having access to two walk in showers, the large kitchen, the enclosed garden and the hot tub - all of which were well used during our stay. We only had one issue which was quickly sorted by Kath, the owner (one of us accidently turned off a switch in the kitchen that controlled the hot tub). We also appreciated the welcome gifts - thank you. Happy to recommend this property to others.
