Super weekend in a very spacious and clean home which would easily accommodate two families. Beds comfy, great showers and plenty hot water. Great location and would highly recommend the local pub - the Black Swan. Would just warn there are many stairs, if someone wasnt very mobile. Also, although we were lucky with parking (parking bay across thRead moree road) there is not a designated parking space, so you may have to find a car park or park in a side road. Super rental Hide

We had such a lovely time over the Easter weekend staying at the villa. Everything was perfect with the house. The only problem was the parking!

This is a lovely, well located house with plenty of space and thoughtfully furnished/ equipped. Plenty of hot water and very comfortable beds. Perfectly suited for two families with young children although we were a party of 8 adults.

Good base by the Black Swan pub, which is excellent for food and beer. Very spacious, and might be good for families with children, as well as couples, singles.

The four storey house was a perfect size for multi generational family holidays such as ours and a comfortable walk to the shops and beach. Our only negatives out of many positives, are that the house is nestled between two pubs so there's noise overnight as they leave, the off street parking isn't often available nearby and is a good walk from youRead morer car to the house. Also, you have to be fairly agile to be able to safely manage the steep steps down to the kitchen. However, there is amazing views from the rear sitting room of the town, sea, steam railway and the Downs which we missed for many days on returning home Hide
