We are totally biased as this was the third time we have stayed there in the last two years! The accommodation is excellent with everything we need for our stay. Nicky and Andrew are excellent hosts with an eye to detail. Our welcome pack was perfect for a Christmas welcome. A large change since last year was outside of the accommodation and that Woodland Walk has become a Nature Reserve. There are beautiful tree carvings as well as a pond and areas being cleared to allow for the growing of wild flowers. A lovely walk to the shore front for great promenade walks in both directions. We highly recommend this for a fantastic stay.

Accommodation excellent. Everything you need. Would like to have seen hosts Nicky & Andy on arrival even if it was only that time but they were always on hand if you needed anything. High street and beach a short walk/drive away. Perfect. Would definite return. Dawn& Marc.

Everything about our short stay was perfect. The accommodation has been extremely well thought out and feels spacious and comfortable. Nicky and Andrew are only next door should we have needed anything, but due to the clever design of the annexe we were hardly aware of them. Our car was parked securely on the driveway behind an electric gate and we walked or used public transport to get around as the property is so well located. We would happily stay here again and have no hesitation in recommending it to others.
