A lovely house with an amazing back garden to see the sea.Very peaceful and the local area is beautiful. We had a perfect holiday!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I loved the fact there was no tv or radio. It's a holiday home whereby you tuck the world away for the duration of your stay. The location is excellent nicely tucked away surrounded by mature shrubbery with a nice Seaview. The cottage as you enter is a mix of modern and old. The kitchen and bathrooms were modern. Kitchen had everything required although the electric aga took some getting used to. The furniture was slightly older but comfortable. You have the use of bikes and there are a few board games you have use of.There is a parkdean resort close which has a pub and the food is nice if you don't want to cook. The owner Alice was lovely, willing to help and down to earth, nothing was to much trouble. If you want to unwind from the world then I would certainly recommend
