Impressive views from living space and main bedroom of the Solent, with frequently passing vessels of all sorts near the horizon, also over to the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth, depending on visibility. We spent a lot of time just gazing or peering through binoculars. Easy acess on to the beach. Comfortable beds and pleasing seaside-themed decor. All in all, a very enjoyable break. Thanks!

This bungalow is delightful in a great location. Has all you need for a self catering break. Would recommend to others. However it is looking a little tired and in need of tlc. Woodwork is tired and needing painting. Garden furniture needs refresh. Some little touches would make all the difference such as toiletries in the bathroom. No shower gel or shampoo and the hand wash is a cheap Lidl option. The towels were clean but look grey and tired.
