We had a lovely time! There was lots of space and everything was kept to a good standard when we arrived. The location was great and parking was all taken care of. The only issue we came across was there was no hot water in the sink of room 3.Otherwise, no notes! Loved it and if given the chance I'd absolutely book again.

Beautiful house fully equipped with everything you need. Walking distance to the trap and sea front. Great for large parties. There was 8 adults and 4 children and there was plenty of space. The children loved it for hide and seek . Host Sally was exceptional nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a wonderful stay
