Rosedale is in the perfect location, minutes to the beach and a short stroll into town. The house itself has everything you could need and the welcome goodies were a lovely touch. Canât wait to stay here again.

The house is lovely...we didn't need the wine or biscuits if we can have hand soap in the kitchen and bathroom along with maybe a couple of loo rolls until we find the shops. Lovely size, perfect for our needs and lovely and quiet.

Great location too. Issues identified in some earlier reviews have been addressed, and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
