Turnstones holiday accommodation was excellent. Really clean and with all the essential kitchen equipment was in working order. Upon arrival there was a nice welcoming basket with Prosecco and a cake along with tea/coffee etc. Had a nice few days with the beach only a couple of minutes walking distance. Parking right in front of the bungalow too. We would certainly visit again.

An excellent bungalow. The only gripe I had was with the heating system (electric) which I found difficult to operate with the instructions provided. As someone used to gas central heating on a ‘press the button and it’s on’ basis it seemed complicated. Other than that everything was pretty much perfect.
