Great house, with a great location. 5 minute walk from the beach, so perfect for us with young children. The owners sent someone out it within 45 when we messaged them about a lock being broken. Some of the amenities/equipment are slightly dated, with one section of the oven not completely working. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the house was well equipped for the 7 children in the house. The owners were very helpful and answered any questions we had straight away. Would definitely recommend, especially to those with young children

We enjoyed our stay & were happy with the house. We appreciated the welcome pack. Living rooms were spacious & comfortable. We had a few issues which were quickly sorted. (Radiators not working on top floor & no catch on lock in one of the bathrooms). Bedrooms were clean & comfortable. A tumble drier would be really helpful. Location is good - walking distance to beach & shops. Regular bus services.
