Very comfortable house in an excellent position. Well equipped except we thought the fridge was too small for 11 people. Thought a couple of the showers need attention and the pressure was not great.

Location is fabulous, bedrooms and lounge areas all nice furnished and very comfortable. The only criticism we have is that all bathrooms and kitchen could do with a refurb, this could have been overlooked if the showers were more than a dribble! However we had a superb weekend nonetheless.

Saxon House is ideal for a large family holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the extra living rooms where the younger members of our group could enjoy spending time together without the adults. The pier and beach are literally five minutes walk away and it is an easy walk into the town. I'm sure we'll be returning.
