Generally a really lovely cottage and a wonderful stay, very happy we booked and would recommend it. The bottle of wine and biscuits was a lovely touch and we had a really nice stay. Very well equipped and spacious enough for 8 adults.

We booked Bay House for a family week - grandparents, parents, grandchild and auntie - and it was a great success. The house is lovely and is in a wonderful location for the beach and the town centre. We would be happy to go back!

This was our third stay in Bay House. It is the best equipped house we have ever stayed in and the location is quiet but handy for beach, pubs, shops and playground. This year the newly opened Canteen restaurant and community hub at the end of the road was an added bonus. I am sure we will be back soon.
