Great property, 4 of us stayed to play golf in the area for a 3 night stay. Flat was clean with plenty of space for us all. Location, just a five minute walk to shops, bars and waterfront.
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.

We had a wonderful stay at the flat. Check in and out was very easy. Alex was fast to communicate with for any questions during the stay. The flat was clean, comfortable, and the location was excellent. We were walking distance to everything. I would stay there again!
Our family of 7 with 2 babies enjoyed a wonderful wedding weekend in the apartment. Great facilities with everything we needed for our stay . Very comfortable and spacious bedrooms . The location was perfect being close to seafront and shops.

The place was clean and had beautiful decor. It was exactly as it was described. It was in a very convenient place for the beachfront, restaurants and grocery store. It was great value for the money.
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
