Review weekend 22 November 2024
I took my adult sons away for the weekend. There were plenty of board games to play and we enjoyed playing these as we hadn't been away together at the beach, without other family, for decades. There were instructions/recommendations to improve our stay in the local area We were very pleased with the accommodation.

Wonderful home in a great location
We loved our holiday in the wonderful home. The house was very comfortable with everything we could have needed for our stay. It was great having air conditioning throughout on the hot days. A short 10-15 minute walk to the patrolled beach. Owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Can’t wait to stay again.

Great location
The house is in a superb location right between the town centre and beach. Great facilities available however the mattresses are unsatisfactory and need to be replaced. The fridge and microwave also needed cleaning. Apart from that it is a lovely house for a seaside holiday.
