We had a very enjoyable stay at Sea Gem. The property had a particular good layout with a large bedroom with a comfortable king size bed and bathroom downstairs. With Three good bedrooms upstairs and a spacious lounge/diner, it was ideal for our stay. The property is a good walk to the Pier and Centre but on the flat and manageable. No major complaints.

The good Location Size Bedding etx The poor The location is just perfect and great size property but rusting peeling kitchen equipment and very very tired furniture such as sofa that felt like we’re almost sat on floor, really let it down given how much paid for a week. The front garden was quite overgrown. This house could be amazing with some TLC
