Wow! What can I say, what an amazing place to stay. Claire and Mark have thought of everything, it really was a home from home. What can I say about the views!! Outstanding! So lovely to wake up in the morning and see the sea. The sunsets were a bonus too, beautiful. We will be back again.

Charming holiday home with views across the Solent to Hurst Castle . The house is extremely well equipped and very comfortable, with lots of dog-friendly extras which were appreciated. There are a few shops and places to eat within walking distance, and lots of interesting places to visit a short drive away. Would definitely return.
