We particularly appreciated the kitchen being well kitted out with all the necessary utensils,crockery and glasses and good ovens and hob.The back garden was perfectly safe for our lively dog and the decking area was perfect when the sun shone-lovely plants too!Beds were extremely comfortable.It was in a really convenient position for the main street and the sea front.We enjoyed a really relaxing stay at Crabbe Corner.
