The house is in an excellent position overlooking the beach. All the rooms are very spacious and well furnished. The kitchen is well equipped for large family groups of all ages. We were so lucky with the weather to enjoy the outdoor space. Great value for money.

We loved our family weekend away in the house. Plenty of bedrooms if you have a big party going we had 14 staying. The living room was a great communal place and the kids loved the games room on the 2nd floor. The beach was great for a morning stroll with the dogs. We used the local chippy which was a great decision on the Saturday evening no cooking the fish and chips were delicious. We cooked a fabulous Sunday lunch using the facilities and used the conservatory to have our family meals.I would recommend this property.

Well located property. Needs some tlc. Doors without catches, smoking fire, unable to use so living room quite cold as storage heaters not sufficient for large room with high ceilings. Furniture quite basic, would have expected more comfort. Rooms and bathrooms good sized and well located for our large family gathering. Outside of property little shabby but house very well located for beach and views. May be a lot better in Spring and Summer.
