Beautiful house.
Beautiful house. Very comfortable and very spacious. Well equipped, could do with a few more basics but not really an issue. Perfectly located with a very short stroll to the beach. Good parking, pub next door which didn't disturb our holiday. A few local shops nearby but just a 5-10 minute walk into the centre of town. Just absolutely loved our stay. There were 3 adults and one dog......we all felt very comfortable and right at home. We will definitely be staying again!!

Beautiful house, lots of extras like air fryer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and even spare dog towel.
Beautiful house, lots of extras like air fryer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and even spare dog towel. Could just do with blind in ensuite. Location was brilliant two minute walk from prom/beach. T.v signal was bit hit and miss but we were out most of time in sunshine.
