We was really surprised by the size of this house. The pictures do not do it justice. Location is perfect, a few minutes walk to the beach, a pub next door, we never heard a thing from there. Shops within minutes. The house is well equipped, we would suggest a pizza cutter but honestly that’s all I can suggest. It was so clean and smelled so nice. We loved having the window open at night and listening to the sea. We will be booking again 100% my daughter moved to Blyth so it’s the perfect distance for visiting to. Thank you. 🫶🏽
