Jonathan
Large, spacious and pet friendly. We loved the property which was within easy reach of the beach and shops. WiFi was brilliant, allowing us to watch catch-up TV in the evenings. Kitchen well equipped. One bedroom was en-suite with shower and bath, as was family bathroom. Dining table had space for ten people, situated in the conservatory. Large garden was secluded, being hedge-lined or fenced...ideal for privacy and the dog. A superb property.

Can say its an ideal location for travelling to other places and people are very friendly here but for us we didn't think was cleaned to a standard that should have been as they were cobwebs all over in walls in bedrooms top and bottom, behind tv and side of fridge was really bad and at least 35 spiders we had to get rid off. Should not have to clean house on 1st or 2nd day that's why I contacted skykes which took 3 days for reply and had to provide pictures so for us bit of a letdown but still enjoyed going places

Good location in terms of beach and local facilities, but also not too far to travel to get to the bigger tourist attractions. We have already booked again for next year as we loved it so much.
