Location perfect for town, common and walk to the harbour. Sea also not far away. Apartment nicely and tastefully equipped. Being on the ground floor was good and my husband’s mobility scooter to be in the garden.

Excellent property, bright and light decor. Very spacious accommodation within a short distance of the main high street, shops and sea front. We would book this property again.
