fantastic location, but heavy footfall past the house, meaning garden is quite overlooked. Very comfortable property, welcome basket was a nice touch. due to unforeseen circumstances, the property hadn't been cleaned before we went in. Cleaners arrived shortly after we did and were very apologetic and got through as quickly as possible to a good standard. Despite staying in August the weather wasn't kind to us and a smart tv would've been a real bonus.

Fantastic property, with fabulous views in a great location

Lovely house and garden in a fantastic location, near all amenities. A wide range of pubs and restaurants within 5 mins walk. Sadly beach is only good for swimming if you have 4 legs!!! A very generous hamper was much appreciated on our arrival. Would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect Get Away

Had an amazing 3 night stay at this property which is situated overlooking sea and harbour and only a short stroll to the pubs and restaurants. Property was spotlessly clean when we arrived with a lovely welcome pack which was a very thoughtful touch, including milk and butter in the fridge. Property is very well kitted out and was very much like home to home. Highly recommend this property. We will definitely be back. Thank you :)
