Dec 31, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The location was perfect for our needs, and it was able to accommodate 7 people comfortably. The house has been finished to a good standard and included everything we needed. Wonderful views from the large windows. ##### James B. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn L. Aug 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great family holiday stay A very clean, spacious property. Small sitting out area at the back and small garden at the front. But, cross the road and you're on the beach. Fantastic situation and fantastic views from the house along the coast to the lighthouse. Excellent beach for children. Dogs are allowed on several areas of the beaches as well. We had a couple of dogs with us and they loved it! The beaches were kept clean, which is important when children are playing on it. Good area with lots of places to visit with children; aquarium, mini golf, castles, as well as some excellent walks along the coastline. If I was being critical I would say that the first floor bedroom would be better with a full size wardrobe. The kitchen could be improved with a few more implements. We couldn't find a pair of scissors or a whisk. Overall it was an excellent holiday let and I would recommend it without hesitation. ##### Carolyn L.
