What a lovely house to stay. We stayed with children and grandchildren. The whole house is well maintained and decorated. The garden was a lovely space to have, we had a BBQ one night in the back garden. Not bad for April! The beds were super comfortable and all the rooms were well decorated and airy. All the bathrooms were clean and bright, all Read moreshowers worked very well and delivered plenty of hot water. Good location for town and beach. What a perfect spot for staying with friends and family. So nice to have your own bathroom. We will definitely return! Hide

We spent a week over Christmas at Samphire House. Just perfect from start to finish. The house is in an ideal location, beautifully furnished and has enough of everything for 8 guests. The 4 bed/4 bathroom set up was great . The kitchen was very well equipped, had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

The cottage has two downstairs bedrooms which are very comfortable and good for the less mobile. It is easy to get to the shops and to the beach.

The cottage is very well appointed with 4 good double bedrooms and bathrooms. The sitting room was cosy and good for someone making a noise while not wanting to wake the rest of the party. The kitchen and diner are very large with lots of seating etc. And the garden in mid summer is sunny in the evening when the beach is not.
