So first time we used the bath we had a a flood through the ceiling. This blew the electricity upstairs and also the sockets in part of the kitchen so we couldnât use kettle or anything in kitchen. Fridge was full of food and switched off for 14 hours. The plumber and electrician who came were lovely but didnât arrive until more than 12 hours after the event. I rang emergency number which initially was answered in 20 minutes. My further phone call to say about the fridge being off wasnât responded to at all. I stayed up until midnight waiting.

Spotlessly clean and well decorated. My only gripe would be lack of net curtains or similar due to close proximity of other properties, have to keep main curtains drawn in the daytime. Only a slight concern though and would not affect my rating or decision to stay there again. Could do with a canopy outside to stop the seagulls pooping on my head!!

The off road parking is a god send. Just a few niggles, the pots and pans were of low quality. And the sofas were quite low, okay if you're youngish, but a bit difficult getting up when you're older. All in all a enjoyable stay. Would recommend it, everyone in area really friendly.
