    • Mrs Read

      Spacious and comfortable accommodation. Needs a little attention to details.

    • Mrs Thompson

      Lovely spacious warm comfortable house in a lovely area although the road outside is quite busy. Great TVs and sound systems. Lovely area to explore with beautiful beaches and lots of pubs and and good places to eat nearby.

    • Mr Bright

      Lovely property very close to local pubs, shops and the harbour. Nice safe walks for our dog along the roD to the next village and harbour. Pubs were very friendly, and welcoming. Carefully parked 2 vehicles off road which was good.
