Beautiful Victorian period house decorated to a good standard . Kitchen a good size and very well equipped. Lounge vey spacious and bright with ample seating and good sized dining table. Bedroom we used was large with good comfy bed. Positioned a 10 minute walk from shops and pubs made it easy to walk around. Parking is a bit of a pain but we always found a space near to the house. Would recommend for families and friends wanting a break to the seaside. Rest bay is a five mins drive with a great beach and a lovely restaurant/cafe that did a lovely breakfast with a great view from the balcony area. Would definitely stay there again.

Perfect place and location

The accommodation and location was perfect. There were only 2 of us but could see how the flat would easily accommodate more people. Pictures didn’t do the place justice, the flat was gorgeous and super comfortable. Communication with host was spot on, and they were super responsive. Would recommend without hesitation and will stay again
