This stay was like a home away from home and made us want to stay longer. The accommodation has everything you could need and is in a quiet location not far from the centre of town.

A lovely larger property. Very clean, well equipped and modern. Nice sized garden with children's climbing frame and trampoline for those with kids. A resident hedgehog called in to see us!Very quiet location but just a short walk away from the water front and 15 mins from the shops and restaurants. Lovely views of the surrounding peaks adds to the attraction of this home.
