We had an absolutely amazing girlie weekend, we were also blessed with beautiful weather so made full use of garden and sea! Living area is just as big as it looks on the photos and was perfect for a big group to natter and have fun! Part of the drive way is very narrow (as advised on listing) but we had some amazing drivers who nailed it!Neighbours were lovely and friendly too!Thank you so much :)

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you had such an amazing girls’ weekend and that the beautiful weather allowed you to make the most of the garden and our beachfront location. It’s lovely to know that the living space worked so well for your group and provided the perfect setting for relaxing, chatting, and making special memories together. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the narrower section of the driveway and we’re very impressed that your amazing drivers handled it so well! Thank you for your kind words about our friendly neighbours too. It was a real pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back for another seaside getaway in the future.

Property a bit tired. The en-suite “bedroom” had no window, nor did the ensuite, not sure it can be described as a bedroom? Had to move upstairs to the single beds and go downstairs for a shower.View was fantastic, plenty of seating for our group of 6 adults.Large dining table with seating for 8 around it. Further table and 4 chairs in kitchen.No wardrobe in main floor bedroom.Good stay, I guess you book for the view and location on seafront rather than bedrooms.

Here is a slightly warmer and more friendly version while still addressing the points professionally: Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the fantastic sea views, spacious dining areas, and that the property suited your group of six adults. We were a little surprised by the comment regarding the ground floor bedroom not having a window, as this is clearly stated in the property listing so that guests can make an informed choice before booking. Regarding the comment about storage in the main floor bedroom, there are drawers available for guests to store their clothes. We would also like to mention that the whole property underwent a complete renovation in summer 2025, including a substantial lounge extension and a full refurbishment throughout, so we were naturally disappointed to hear it described as tired. We genuinely appreciate all guest feedback and are always looking for ways to enhance the experience we offer. We are pleased that you had a good stay overall and enjoyed the property’s wonderful seafront location, comfortable social spaces, and stunning views. This keeps the response positive and avoids sounding defensive, while politely correcting the points that future guests may read.
