A lovely house in a great location, with a really good garden and off street parking.A tiny gripe.A bath mat in the shower would have been welcome as the floor very slippery when wet.

Harbour Retreat is a hop skip and jump from the beautiful seafront and harbour, it is extremely well maintained and has everything you could possibly need for your holiday , the hot tub is checked daily and is very private. The owners are very helpful but not intrusive . We can honestly say this is one of the nicest holiday homes we have ever stayed in. The property is also very cosy and warm on winter evenings . Thank you mr Codd we will be returning ***
