Brought tea towels, toilet roll, hand soap, washing up liquid etc and none were needed as all were provided. Gift basket was a lovely touch. Getting parked outside the house is challenging but we parked up near the railway line or by blue china and both were a 40 second walk so not a big deal. Beach basically less then a minute away, dogs can go on the beach pass the life guard hut. Best bit was top floor hall window was clear view to the castle it was lovely seeing that lit up. Furniture was comfortable, TV in each room which pleased the kids. There is a lovely walk along the seafront if you go towards the castle and visiting David Lloyd George's grave and walking down the river was a lovely morning out.
