Felt homely. Loved the audio streaming devices. Really nice to have round the house. Balcony was brilliant. Chairs could do with a bit of tlc. But really enjoyed the stay.

The views are amazing, so interesting with the tide, the birds and the view of the steam trains. Being in the town is also great as there are loads of shops within walking distance. The property is very clean with everything you need for your stay.
