The house was beautiful and in a great location. One of the nicest homes we have ever stayed in.

A lovely cottage, very well equipped to a high standard. Within walking distance to Shops & Sea with the added bonus of Car Parking.

The house is extremely well equipped and could readily accommodate 6 people. We were a party of 3 adults, including an 80 year old, and a dachshund. We booked because of its proximity to beach but extensive work on the prom made it a long walk to access the beach. Verdi’s ice cream parlour was a welcome reward. The equipment and utensils in the house are very high spec, everything you could possibly need to self cater. No ground floor cloakroom unfortunately and the walk in shower is up on the second floor. Overall the property is more like a family home than a holiday let.
