I have just had a great family Christmas in Cliff House. It was perfect for a family of 3 generations ranging in age from 8 to 82! The house was very clean and had everything needed for catering for the family - including cooking Christmas dinner!. The beds were all very comfortable and there are lots of bathrooms. During a very cold spell the house was beautifully warm and the heating was easy to control. My only other comment would be that some of the bedrooms were a bit bare and could do with eg a chair or two.

Lovely house, big enough for friends to chill out (despite the weather) and great communication with the owners.

Perfect house for an extended family of 14. Close to the beach and a short walk into town
