    “This was our second stay at The Smokehouse.”

    It’s in a great location tucked back from the road but close to the beach, pubs and shops. The house is a great size for myself, husband and cockapoo. The kitchen is very well equipped if you choose to cook. I really like the change of the the second bedroom, we used it as a dressing room! The welcome pack was very much appreciated. Very clean on arrival.
