    We loved listening to the waves at night and enjoyed our walks along the sea front and on the cliffs. We pre-ordered a seafood platter from Ross Dougal and pies from Jarvis Pickle which made Christmas catering very easy. Overall we had a great week.

  • Catherine

    We’re a large family (5 children & a dog) and we really appreciated the space, games, books and smart tv. The location is perfect for easy meals and walks. It really is a great family house! The only difficult part was getting organised for bong out by 9.30 (10am would have been much easier).
