There are two pretty beaches within a short distance, North Sands and South Sands and further on is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including surfing, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip?

Andrea
Very close to everything. The view from the lounge was lovely. Beds were comfortable and it was very quiet at night. Would recommend it.

We have rebooked for 2025. However, this year we had an intermittent signal wi-fi up to Thursday and then none after that. We could not access the Sky programme as we had no password etc. We reported the problem but nothing happened by the time we left. Just as well we ere on holiday and not intending to spend time working. The apartment always seeks to thrill with the view but it is not always as clean as it could be and needs a bit of decorating TLC. Malcolm and Elaine 2024

We have had a lovely holiday. However,I would like to point out that the mattress in the smaller double bedroom is extremely uncomfortable and really does need to be replaced.
