The position is fantastic. You can see the sea and estuary from nearly all rooms. The Aga in the kitchen gives a lovely homely warmth which we loved, and a fire in the sitting room was great for the chilly nights. The conservatory was great for reading and sea watching on cold, wet and windy days. We just loved this house.

Very generous welcome pack and immediate homely feel. Just a couple of things; needs a tumble dryer which has been available in much smaller properties. The window in the bedroom on the upper floor should have been fixed before our arrival. It was very cold up there and the window gave way in the high winds! Faulty hot water tap should also have been sorted out.

It is a well loved home! We loved the central location. The town provided friendly cafes and public houses. We spent many relaxing hours in the conservatory gazing at the panoramic view of The Parrog. We enjoyed gathering in the well-equiped kitchen. Monty our dog enjoyed the garden and the many walks to the beach and along the coastal path. We look forward to returning soon. Siam and friends
