Lovely property wonderful pool, very clean and all essentials supplied, location great. Only niggle the Wi-Fi is restricted certain sites are not accessible so if you like a flutter or wish to do your lottery you are out of luck. We felt that this should have been made clear when booking as we booked here partly because we were attending Yarmouth races so the lack of available Wi-Fi was an issue for us.Do feel that if Wi-Fi is advertised it should be up to individuals to monitor use if needed.
