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

Was a lovely stay. Perfect location for the Pleasure Beach and being close to the beach front. Hosts were fantastic and contactable by phone throughout if and when we required.
