Only a short walk into West Bay. Double bed too soft for my taste. Well equipped kitchen. Parking at the back of the property very useful.

Garden was very quiet and secure for the dogs, parking at the rear of the house was great and made life easy with luggage and shopping. There is a notice on the bottom of the stairs that dogs are not allowed upstairs which I think should have been highlighted in the property details. Could have done with an extra mirror maybe downstairs. Overall we were very happy with our stay and already thinking about booking again for next year.

EV charging a real bonus Nice to have welcome pack. Single bed not too comfy - spring felt in back. As it was very hot we really needed fans in bedrooms.
