The house was absolutely fab, in a brilliant location and really well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owners were also really easy to contact and very helpful throughout. We would definitely recommend this lovely house and would happily stay again!

Our second stay here and I think we'll be coming back for more! The location is perfect in relation to the town and also, importantly for us, to the West Cliff where we have a memorial bench for my late husband. The owners are so accommodating, so much space and brilliant for family games nights. Just wonderful!
