It had all we needed for our stay. Perfect for our dog too with the enclosed garden and the hot tub was an added bonus. It would be nice to have a washing line or somewhere to dry the wet towels/swimming costume but other than that, we couldn't fault the property. Fab location with lots of coastal walks on your door step, and the choice of restaurants and pubs was ideal! We certainly tried a lot of them!

We love this house itâs ideally situated, clean and well appointed. This stay we had a couple of maintenance issues but they were dealt with by the owner quickly. Luckily there were other options for us in the house. We sadly probably wonât be back to Quay House as our visits have been celebrations for us and our family together but we would recommend it to all. Enjoy it as we have.
