Mr Stephenson
We have stayed here several times and enjoyed its old world comfort. However some of the defects are mounting which offset the charm of this older property. Since staying in 2023 fire doors have been fitted which are very hard to open. In particular the ones fitted to the narrow doors leading to the twin bedded room on the ground floor are nearly impossible and would be a hazard if the room was used by children.

Mr Friel
A bit quirky but certainly a good place for a holiday excellently located for the town and beach. The beach hut was a real bonus.

The 17th century listed property was charming and quirky on three floors. The drawing room was full of character and very comfortable with a huge telly, the spacious kitchen was well equipped with a large table, the table tennis table on the ground floor was much fun where many a competitive match was held. Having said that, we have fed back to the owners several areas that need improvement and subject to that we might consider staying there again or recommending the property to friends and family.
