It was great to be so close to the seafront. The only thing I would say is that we kept tripping on the coffee table, as it is so low. So we moved it to one side during our stay. Also, there was a leak from the ceiling in the kitchen when it rained.

Starfish apartment had everything we needed and was within walking distance of the beach and a supermarket. The beds were comfy and the apartment lovely and clean. We enjoyed the puzzle too.

Easy to find and local amenities close by, including pubs and shops. Flat had plenty of space. Short walk to the sea front. Approx 10 mins . Only draw back was the grounds, car port area and the car park could do with a good clean and tidy up.
