The house was beautiful and so tastefully decorated, you could see it had been put together with love. It had all that you would need for a lovely break away from home. We loved the fact that it was right in the middle of everything, close to restaraunts, pubs and shops and most importantly to the children how close the house is to the beach. IRead moret was a pleasure to meet one of the owners Clare, to do the handover, she was truly such a lovely lady and I know had we needed anything she would have sorted it out for us if she could.

This is a beautifully restored house with amazing views across the promenade and bay. It has been finished to a superb standard. The kitchen is well equipped and the large comfortable living room is great for your group to gather together.
