  • Helen

    Clean and welcome pack was lovely. Could do with an outside light, as very dark with minimal street lighting. Overall excellent and would definitely stay again.

  • Sandra

    The décor is well considered, the house is well stocked with quality everything and the location is perfect! Recommend loaded and jacks for simple eating out, Adventure golf (by the boaking lake/pier) and lots of time on the beach.
