Beautiful home, cosy and warm, prettily decorated for Xmas, clean and confortable, powerful shower, lovely kitchen, very confortable bed, outside secure area at back for our dog and great location only 5 mins walk to the beach. Would definitely stay again. We received a beautiful welcome gift from the owner which was a 'tea by the sea' gift box, with fresh scones, jam and clotted fresh cream, plus strawberries and sausage rolls, all freshly baked. Absolutely delicious, thank you so much. The milk in the fridge was very welcomed too, as we could make a cuppa immediately, after such a long drive. Thank you for having us to stay - we would definitely come back again.

A real home from home break and just what I needed.Lovely accommodation, clean, well-equipped and dog-friendly. The outside area needs a little TLC but with the beach right on the doorstep who needs a garden!
