We find the property has all we need and is ideal for exploring the surrounding area, also impressed with the new shower. Another added bonus is the enclosed back garden which our Airedale Terrier enjoyed. We will definitely book again. Many thanks. Denise

Sunny haven is in excellent location. 15 mins walk to the quite end off the beach. Local shops takeaways and pubs close too. When we arrived we noticed the grass was long and looked like it had not been cut for a while. In the mornings noticed alot off slugs in the grass what's not good for your dog. On day 11 grass was cut what reduced the amount of slugs. Could do with some sort off lighting in back garden as its very dark when you let the dog out at night and also has some uneven patio slabs. Overall a excellent place to stay and will return in the future.
