Outstanding location and so convenient for shops, pubs and restaurants. Views from the house are amazing with a gorgeous, sandy beach a few steps away. House facilities are modern and comfortable.

Really liked Mott House. The outside could have been maintained better as it will take a beating from sea and weather and weeds taken up. Generally very good, good general equipment and clean but let down by a few things that should have been checked and replaced. Duvets change yearly, one was very stained and not acceptable at all. Check toilet seRead moreats often loose. Keep any grubby walls painted. We did enjoy our stay. Thanks. Hide

Mott House was a fantastic place to stay for a week to celebrate a 70th birthday. The location was beautiful, the property was spotlessly clean and everyone in our group, aged from 6 to 70 thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend this house and hope to return sometime in the future. It most definitely had the Wow factor!
