This property is definitely for a family. Very bright and airy. The only downfall with the property was the bathroom was on the ground floor with no toilet upstairs which meant if you wanted to use the loo during the night you had to go downstairs. Not much of a problem for us but could be for young children. The beach at Eccles is brilliant.

We had a lovely stay at the Argonaut Beach House. 4 minute walk to the lovely sandy beach. Milk, tea & sugar supplied which is a lovely gesture.

Had a great stay. The area is quiet and the close proximity to the beach was amazing! The garden was of a good size and nice and secure for our large dog. Lots of things in the house provided including soap, shampoo and conditioner, bubble bath, towels and tea towel, tea and coffee, all cloths and sponges. Really helpful. Sofa was really comfortable and we felt very relaxed there. Have booked already for 2027. The nearest shop is a 10 min drive away but this was not a problem for us.
