Julie
So much space downstairs with the kitchen kitted out very well. A very comfortable home and garden with lovely views at the front. Lovely garden at the back, just a cold/wet to use for us. Would definitely like to go back as so comfortable, beds very comfy. Location couldnât be better, lovely walk to the beach and town.

We had a great time - were very lucky with the weather. Despite not being the fastest walkers, we think it is a little closer to the sea than described (a good thing). Comfortable sitting room and beds. Good kitchen equipment and for once decent frying pans. We struggled a bit with the freezer - the top drawer didn't shut properly (some ice) and then iced up worse. I think it needs defrosting. I booked Long View as the right size, had a garden and upstairs and downstairs toilets - the listing could describe the upstairs shower room better as it is a very good shower. Loved the welcome pack - unadvertised and really good coffee. I would definitely recommend this house. But probably more suitable for 5 than 6 - the second double room is very small.
