Very spacious and comfortable. Short walk to the sea front. I would definitely stay again.

We always notice the upgrades year after year and appreciate them. The house was warm and cosy after some lovely long walks with our dogs. We couldn't get the built in dvd player to work, which was a shame, but we had plenty of choice with Netflix. Maybe the mattresses could be on the next upgrade. We'll be back next year!!

The house is very spacious and welcoming, a mix of quirky, characterful and contemporary. It had everything there visitors could need. The views of the bay are fantastic. A really lovely garden. The best place we have stayed at. Looking forward to staying again. Alan and Lizzy
