Mrs Feather
Fantastic location right on the sea front and near to all of the cafes. Lovely big sofa and flat screen TV in the lounge with Netflix. The newly renovated kitchen and bathroom were lovely. The shower was great and powerful. Beautiful fresh cut iris flowers in the kitchen which bloomed during our week stay.
