Close proximity to the sea - perfect could hear the waves at night and enjoyed lots of beach walks. 2. An opportunity to cosy up in front of a log burner- informed shortly before departure that log burner was out of order, very disappointed. Property was spacious and functional. Found Sykes customer service difficult to navigate.

I had significant backache by the morning. Would benefit from a higher quality duvet a pillows. Perhaps rugs upstairs and a runner on the stairs. Only one bathroom upstairs would be a problem if the house were full. There were only two of us this time.

Beautifully clean, lovely warm heating and everything we needed to have a relaxing stay. A lovely welcome pack, introduced us to local coffee and tea. We took bacon rolls to the beach for breakfast and late night take away, gave mum the night off. As I get so hot at night, I would have liked a lower tog duvet, but only one small niggle. A really very enjoyable stay. Thank you.
