Guests that stayed at this property said

The majority of reviews commend the property's cleanliness, with specific mentions of clean beds and ensuites. One review noted renovations, but this did not seem to detract significantly from the overall cleanliness.

The property is well-received for its proximity to the seafront and local shops, with guests appreciating the short walk to the beach and nearby amenities.

Guests find the property comfortable, with several positive comments about the quality of the beds and the spaciousness allowing for both communal activities and private time.

While the property is generally well-equipped, there are concerns about ongoing renovations and the need for a decorative overhaul. The mention of unexpected dogs and unfinished aspects suggests room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

The host's thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating welcome gifts and the host's attentiveness. It should be noted that such personal touches, while delightful, are not guaranteed for every stay.

  • Kathryn

    The variety of bedrooms was perfect for us and they were well spaced out so that no one disturbed anyone and we all had our own space. The house was spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable. We didnt get chance to use the rooftop garden due to weather but what a great space! The only criticism is that we were only just able to squeeze around the dining room table/s all together once. If you were a party of 20 adults you wouldn't be able to and that is something that we like to do. There is a breakfast bar with additional seating though if you are happy to be in a different room. Otherwise it was fab and the owner was very helpful too, thanks for a great weekend!

  • Alison

    Our visit was great from start to finish, from Paul being so easy to contact before arrival and answering all questions to us arriving and the place being very clean and in very good condition would definitely recommend for large families/parties and will be visiting again

  • Benjamin

    Great communication from the owners and the bottle of prosecco/chocolates were a lovely touch & very much appreciated. The house is fantastic, very spacious and clean. Great large rooms to congregate in & local take outs/hot spot information was provided which we used & enhanced our visit. THANK YOU!!!
