The welcome box was much appreciated after a long journey. The only negative was the comfort of the sofa as the seat is quite long and I have short legs. Would recommend to family and dog owners, many extras like crab bucket for children, games. Dog bowl provided for dog and a nice garden . Thank you for our stay. Susan

The house was spacious, clean and comfortable. It was really lovely to receive the hamper on arrival and tea towel, washing up liquid, pint of milk in the fridge etc was really thoughtful. We parked at the council offices and walked up the steps throughout our stay. Parking in surrounding streets is unregulated and from what we saw pretty competitive and unregulated. We felt our car was safer in the car park! The house is well located for the town and harbour, but just removed enough to have some peace and quiet. One thing of note, the dishwasher wasn't quite cleaning thoroughly, I ended up having to re wash items in the sink. We got used to the very noisy and territorial seagulls (nesting?) on the roof of the conservatory. The bathroom was really lovely, perfect for a family of four! Beds very comfortable and clean. One of the wardrobe doors felt a bit wobbly in the children's room, might need checking. Cooker and washing machine worked really well. Thanks again for such a delightful stay!
