A great place for all the family to get together.The owners have thought of everything.The only small improvement would be to have a larger fridge. We had an amazing family Christmas.

Lovely place. Good location 5 minutes walk to the beach (although no beach when the tide is in) and about another 3 minutes walk to the pub next to the beach. The cottage is very easy to get to by car and our estate car fitted on the driveway. Cottage was very clean and we got welcome fruit, wine, bread, chocolate biscuits, orange juice and milk which was very welcome. Decor is in good order although the house interior does look a little dated. I didn’t find the beds very comfortable but my husband thought they were fine. TV was a little small given the size of the property but this is very minor. The pub was good, served slightly better than average pub food and a lot of it didn’t contain garlic which was great for us as my husband is allergic to it. The cafe a bit further round from the pub was also great, serves alcohol and is open into the evening although do book if you want to go after about 5 as they may close if empty.

7 of us shared this spacious holiday home for a week.Fairway was very clean upon arrival and well appointed, plenty of everything.The location was spot on, near sea, 10 minute walk to overground station and pubs.The property has a large outdoor area which would be ideal in the summer.It also has ample bathrooms and a seperate toilet downstairs.The host was excellent and even phoned several days in advance to share details of the area.It was also nice to be greeted with a huge selection of fruit as well as tea, coffee, milk, crisps, biscuits and orange juice.We really enjoyed it here and to cap it all off was great value for money.
