Couldn’t recommend Lyndhurst more. From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely perfect — Lyndhurst was gorgeous, comfortable, clean and had everything we could possibly have wanted. We cannot thank Pat and Alan more for being such fantastic hosts. You were so welcoming, friendly and helpful, and your thoughtful touches made our stay even more special.The location was perfect, and we loved all the little recommendations and tips you gave us, including the secret garden and the most beautiful beaches. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better holiday or a better place to stay.Thank you so much, Pat and Alan — we’ve had the most amazing time and would absolutely love to come back! ❤️

Excellent apartment……..recently built everything built to a very very high standard…….good kitchen with everything you would need……walk in shower built to excellent standard. plenty of space. very roomy bathroom. large bath towels. large bedroom with super king size bed. comfortable with lovely pillows. in the very hot weather we had early August this place was very comfortable and cool during the day and night. outdoor patio I had my breakfast here every morning. Pat and Alan were excellent hosts looking after you like family. This place is high up ……..giving you excellent views……. but of course it’s a climb on foot ( which I enjoyed ) but only £7…….. in a taxi to the quayside where all the tourists are………This place is excellent….
