Susan
The upstairs bathroom was unusable as water would drip through the front downstairs bedroom ceiling. The rear garden is overgrown and untidy, definitely not what the pictures show. The bedding certainly wasn't the cleanest we've ever encountered. Only positive was the beach was just over the road.

The location is great well stocked shop next door selling fresh sea food , Lobster, crabs mussels . Beach is literally just across the road and it is a very safe sandy bay for kids. Fantastic restaurant across the road the Sea Shanty booking recommended.. they also have an amazing ice cream parlour. Itâs a great place for coastal path walks and is near to South stack bird sanctuary. The accommodation was good with three double bedrooms 3 bathrooms and two single rooms upstairs. An enclosed garden great for the kids and a dog too . Highly recommended

The location of the house suits us perfectly, so close to the beach, that even with wet, stormy weather we could run back to the warm quickly. The house is great, clean and comfortable, and an enclosed garden is a plus for kids and dogs. The steep steps into the bathrooms are something to be aware of, but are manageable even with small children and an elderley grandparent. We throughly enjoyed our time, and I'm sure we'll be back again
