Lovely house in a great spot
Really lovely home, really clever layout, and very comfortable. It had everything we needed for a relaxed stay, partly staying in and cooking, and also a great base for going out. The coastal path is right on the door step, and it’s only a few minutes walk to pubs, shops and restaurants on the main street. Would definitely book again

Great value
We had a fabulous time here. The house is stylishly decorated, and comfortable, and has everything you could need. Ideal location for walking the coastal path and close to the local pub and amenities. The communication from the owner was excellent. Highly recommend!
