This home is in an excellent location, just a few minutes walk from the beach and from a nice pub and brilliant coastal walks. It has a great shared family room downstairs, enabling everyone to be together which worked really well for us. It's nicely furnished and we enjoyed being there. We were informed by the holiday company 2 days prior to our stay that the hot tub was out of action which was disappointing but we later received a refund when we chased this. A nice home and we would stay again.
