Only 40 metres to the beach!

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent pet friendly accommodation so close to the beach. Fresh Choice supermarket and a great range of take aways nearby too , the beach goes in for km’s, soft white sand, huge selection of dvd’s if the weather isn’t playing along , or puzzles and a few board games if you are having a bit of a digital break. Heat pumps work really well and were definitely needed as we stayed during some of the coldest nights this year. Did not want for anything that wasn’t present in the batch . Very clean and comfortable, fully fenced section, a lovely place to have a break from daily life."
