This was our fourth visit to The Hemploe. Facilities and garden are great. Just a short walk to the promenade and shops. We had fab weather for the end of November and really enjoyed our stay. We highly recommend The Hemploe. Thank you to the owners for making our stay so memorable.

Could be a lot cleaner but overall good. When leaving the hoover that is left their is a waste of time on the mats.

Large, spacious and pet friendly. We loved the property which was within easy reach of the beach and shops. WiFi was brilliant, allowing us to watch catch-up TV in the evenings. Kitchen well equipped. One bedroom was en-suite with shower and bath, as was family bathroom. Dining table had space for ten people, situated in the conservatory. Large garden was secluded, being hedge-lined or fenced...ideal for privacy and the dog. A superb property.
