Spacious well equipped and clean property. On street parking, but not a problem. 10-15 minutes walk to a great beach for dog walking. If you are there on a Sunday book in good time for Sunday lunch as pubs get very full.

This holiday home is immaculate! We had such an enjoyable and comfortable stay here to visit family who live nearby. The location is spot on - close enough to beaches but far enough away to be quiet, and also convenient for shops. The property is spacious and the owners have thought of all you might need. Furniture very comfortable (we now want to Read morechange our sofas at home!), kitchen fabulous and theres even a little outdoor garden which is such a sun trap (we were very lucky with April weather!) We will be returning! Hide

We had a fantastic stay. The house is luxurious, spacious, and had everything we needed for a really comfortable stay, with plenty of room for us, two teenagers and a dog. The location is ideal, right next to great dog-friendly beaches and coastal walks. We would be happy to return and highly recommend it.
