Sarah .
I will start with owner who was 10* lovely helpful gentlemen. Fantastic views, we fitted our vw beetle on front perfectly if anyone wants to know size. I believe a few things need sorting, towels and t towel need replacing as towel seen better days and tea towel had been washed but very stained. Too much in wardrobes, ie xmas things,hoover etc, maybe placed all together in 1 cupboard. We tried to fix blind in main bedroom but needs new fixings on corner. .Lots little things but overall we loved our week. Left car outside all week, did lots walking and train 1 day. Meet neighbour who was lovely. Coastline walks are a must,also woodland walk. Pop over to the island which was great too. If looking for special meal we recommend Sail Loft, amazing time.

Great location, lovely apartment. Only one issue the fridge was not good. No door shelf and fridge shelves all sloped down. Apart for this small issue great base to explore

Accommodation clean & tidy & well equipped. Beds comfy. Nice sea views from the balcony. Car parking space mentioned is really for small cars (Fiat 500 in my opinion) as navigating East Cliff lane (known by locals as ‘Heart Attack Hill’) is v narrow & v steep. Think another review mentioned this but you do have to get a little close to the flat to unpack. We parked at Millpool car park all week which is about 1 mile away & over the bridge. Eateries recommended are Pepe Mexican (fab candy cane margaritas) - reasonable prices, The Golden Guinea pub, - trad pub food & cheapest that we ate in, The Smugglers Cottage - bit pricey but food good. Please note you will have to book in advance at restaurants don’t expect to just turn up & think you can get a table there & then. The nicest pasties can be found at Sarah’s. Beach is great with an excellent Punch & Judy show to entertain the little ones (& adults).
