The bungalow is spacious, comfortable and well equipped, a home from home. The garden is not enclosed as stated in the description, as the gates have been removed. The garden needs a little tlc. Great location, 2 minute walk to the Quay. Local trains and buses are excellent, we didn't use the car during our holiday.

The property location is excellent with easy access to pubs and restaurants in the Town, and the train station to venture further afield.Unfortunately the property wasnt very clean, with lots of spiders and webs in the corners of rooms, debris on the floor and table, including a chip clearly visible under one of the sofas. There was also a smell of stale drains in the property when we arrived, but that did go after a day or 2.The property facilities/equipment are also quite poor with no hair dryer, the outside lights dont seem to work down the driveway so its very dark if venture out at night, and no welcome pack (not even a pint of milk).Shame really, because the location is great.
