The house is part of a new housing estate in the town of Westwood Ho! It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the golden sand beach front where the arcades and main pubs and restaurants can be accessed. The promenade area is mainly flat making it an accessible area for walking. However, it was a much longer walk to access the beach area for dogs, with it being the time of year when dogs are restricted from certain areas of beaches. It is a great location for anyone who enjoys golf, as there is an 18 hole golf course a 5 minute walk next to the estate. The beach was very popular with those interested in surfing and there is a surf school and several surf shops at the beach front. We would definitely return to this area, but out of main holiday season so that our dog can access the main beaches.

A lovely, well appointed house in a quiet location right on the edge of the Burrows. It's a perfect spot for exploring the local area. The bedrooms are all of a good size and having two ensuites is a luxury you dont often find.
