Really nicely set up inside with everything I needed for a weeks holiday. A big bonus is having the parking space next to the property. A 5 minute walk to the beach via the high street or gardens is excellent. There is quite a gap in the windows in the main bedroom leading to a strong draught which does make the room chilly in cold/windy weather, which the heating struggles to deal with.

The parking was a necessity for us and why we chose the property but the fact that it was so close to town and the seafront was a bonus . Kitchen was well equipped for self catering . Beautiful views we would definitely stay here again

Bedding good quality but felt towels not penthouse quality, too small and crunchy. Well equipped kitchen although dishwasher left clean but loaded and had no salt or rinse aid in. Unable to work DVD and Wi Fi temperamental, we werenât bothered but others may be. I think description should be more enlightening regarding access to property, again we werenât unduly bothered but there is an awful lot of stairs to reach the penthouse, unpacking the car was hard work although grateful for the parking space. All in all a great few days away, the Penthouse was warm, comfortable and peaceful.
