⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blue Beach House – Absolutely Loved Our StayWe had an amazing week at the Blue Beach House. The location is unbeatable — you can sit and watch the harbour and the sea for hours, it’s genuinely one of the best views we’ve ever had on a UK break.The house itself has everything you could possibly need. It’s spotless, well‑equipped, and feels instantly comfortable. The beds were fantastic too — really cosy and made it so easy to relax after long days exploring.We absolutely loved our week here and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful coastal stay with incredible views.

We had an excellent week at the blue beach house. The house is absolutely beautiful, really spacious and just over the patio wall was the little beach and the harbour, I could happily sit on that patio all day, every day, and soak up the atmosphere and not go anywhere it was so lovely! We have 3 teenagers and they enjoyed being able to walk around the town and do their own thing when ever they wanted. The dog also loved being able to swim in the sea every day! It was perfect 👌 We will hopefully be booking the Blue Beach house again very soon!

Outstanding property and stunning views We have been coming to this property and the one next door for 6 years such a relaxing time just a chilled week. We chose this property because it has two bedrooms with on suite. The first floor living area has double doors looking out to the harbour below with a glass screen. Perfect
