Lovely quirky house with a touch of class. Excellent location . Easy access to the town . The children loved walking through the garden onto the beach and enjoyed looking for crabs. There is a lots of space in the house , big bedrooms with en-suites. Plenty of room for parking too. The only issue was that the hot water is a little too hot !We had a very enjoyable stay with all the family.

Lovely old house perched above the beach, our family felt relaxed, it is a proper family place to go, and we didn't have to worry about the younger ones breaking any fragile objects, masses of room for all and a dining table we could all fit around comfortably (11 of us). It's a work in progress and I can see where it's headed, James is working hard to get it all to look like the lounge, bedrooms and dining room and I wish him the best of luck! .
