Inside Choo Choo Mansion:

Our holiday home is a Grade II listed townhouse with parking for up to three cars. As you enter, you’re greeted by a spacious hallway. To the left sits a large reception room with a corner sofa, 50-inch Freeview TV, open fireplace, soft lighting, DVD player, and a selection of films—perfect for cosy evenings after a day at the beach.

Continuing along the hallway, you’ll find a convenient downstairs WC. Further along is the dining room, furnished with a wooden table seating up to eight guests—an ideal space for relaxed evening meals together.

From the dining room, turn left into our shabby-chic kitchen, fully equipped with a large 8-ring cooker and double oven, Smeg fridge-freezer, washing machine, coffee machine, and all necessary crockery, utensils, pots, and pans.

The kitchen overlooks the walled garden, where a single step takes you into the outdoor dining area with a table for eight and soft ambient lighting—perfect for al-fresco meals and evening drinks.
