Very clean and beautifully kitted out. Very central to High Street and beach. PS. Back door is sticky.. bottom part requires planing a bit..

Very central to everything. The only thing I would say needs to be advertised is the fact itâs a shared courtyard with next door. Unfortunately we could not use the courtyard during the 2 days as the back door was open to next door and our dog could not be let out. I think there must have been work happening next door and on our last full day there was a lot of noise which was unfortunate as we had come back for a rest.

Having the beach right on our doorstep was lovely for morning/ evening walks as-well as the town. The bed was very comfortable and it was lovely to have the separate mezzanine space! We would definitely recommend!!
