Family of 8 spanning 3 generations; plenty of room to find your own space.

Extremely well equipped house with a fantastic location close to beach and just a short walk to the High Street.

The accommodation was adequate for our needs but the mattresses and pillows were not comfortable and affected the quality of sleep.

One bed had sheets that were crumpled and marked, possibly it had not been changed; we did not use it. We did not find any of the upholstered furniture comfortable. The kitchen was basic and the oven small. Parking was manageable as long as you are prepared to park in a street nearby or move the car when a space appears. The other reviews of this property were so positive that our experience did not match our expectations.
