Stayed at this lovely house for a few days. Central location with off-street parking was convenient. Felt like home with a welcoming basket and essential supplies provided. Ian, the host, was great and checked in to ensure everything was fine. The house was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities needed. Loved the convenient USB sockets and induction charging pad. Cosy accommodation with doorstep parking and easy access to the Main Street and beach.
Would recommend this hotel.

I really got my money's worth at this lovely, modern house. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The location was perfect, with easy access to the beach and Main Street. The staff was quick to respond and provided a thoughtful welcome pack.
Hotel breakfast could use some improvement, maybe more variety.

the house felt homely and had a nice, modern decor. It was very clean and had all the amenities I needed, including a well-equipped kitchen. the host, Ian, was great and even messaged me to ensure everything was okay. I particularly appreciated the welcome basket with essentials and the thoughtful extras like clingfilm, paper towels, and washing up liquid. the small private patio area was a bonus, perfect for enjoying the outdoors. it was a great stay and I would definitely book again. Cons: Nothing, it was perfect! 🌟.

Parking space was tight.

The property was well-maintained and spacious, with lovely complimentary sundries provided.
It would have been helpful to have hypoallergenic/non-feather bedding available. Despite the minor observation about bedding, the property was perfect for a few days away during Christmas.

We had a wonderful stay at a charming retreat in a central location with convenient parking. The welcoming gesture of a basket filled with essential items like eggs, bread, and milk made us feel at home. It was a nice surprise to find clingfilm, paper towels, and washing up liquid available for our use. Ian, our host, went above and beyond by checking in on us to ensure everything was okay. The house itself was beautifully decorated and provided a homely atmosphere. Being so close to the beach, shops, and restaurants was extremely convenient. We appreciated the thoughtful guest information pack that was provided, as well as the tea, coffee, bread, milk, and eggs waiting for us upon arrival. The luxurious Egyptian cotton towels were a highlight, and we are now in search of similar ones for ourselves.
