We had a lovely stay at The Haven. Lots of space, airy, nicely decorated, and great for kids. My son loved it. Although weather didn't permit on our visit, the garden looked lovely to spend time in. We would definitely stay again.

Parking in the street was terrible not like the photo of the house with no cars . Local residents and day trippers park in the street. Their was no folder with information about the house or local amenities . No phone number if we had a problem. The main bedroom only had a chest of drawers and a hanging rail.the twin room had plenty of cupboards all filled with children's toysThe kitchen was good but no information about the appliances. We arrived on a Friday the refuse bin was full and was not emptied until the following Friday the day we went home The summer house was full of brambles. We found a pair of secateurs and cleared it out. The lady who cleaned the house did an excellent job The pizzas from the shop are good but you have to order them
