We walked to the seafront. There was a Sainsbury's local nearby as well. The house was very big so ideal for a big group. There was a little yard with seating out back which I hadn't spotted on the listing. The host was very helpful and dropped towels round as we had forgotten to bring some. They also let us know that we could check in early as the house was ready.
