  • Val

    Close to beach and town centre so ideal location. We had a great time and will not hesitate to recommend it to others.

  • Lucy

    Comfortable & plenty of space; well located; nice touches with Christmas decorations etc. However the house was very cold when we arrived: we managed to fix this over the first day, but the radiator in 1 bedroom (Lighthouse) didn’t work at all & the room was freezing cold - not great for children sleeping in there. Recommend this is fixed before your next visitors.

  • Lorraine

    The bedding felt wet because of the temperature in the room. And also a problem with the electrics which we were asked to sort out. The problem still wasn't resolved by the time we left . Because of this , no sockets could be used on the whole floor. Really not happy , when there were children staying in this property. A refund of some kind please!!!!
