The gated courtyard means that there is no passing traffic noise, but the clientelle from the nearby pubs can be a little noisy at closing time, particularly at the weekend. This is only short lived however, so not a huge problem. The Oasthouse itself is a lovely property, with masses of space for a family to spread out. The seating and beds are very comfortable, and the bedding of a fine quality. The property may not be ideal for the frail or partially sighted, as there are many steps and the floor is of a uniform coloured wood, so there's nothing to demark these. We also found the sound insulation between the property and that located to the left of it as you face the Oasthouse to be insufficient, as those of us located in the rooms next to this property could hear the voices and the movement of people next door clearly, so I would put heavy sleepers in those rooms! The wood floors in both obviously don't help with this either. Overall though, we would very much recommend this property as a comfortable, well equipped and spacious getaway in a very special location.

Very spacious, plenty of room for 10. Fabulous location. Great not having to drive to the town/beach. Liked that it was gated as it felt secure. Glad to have a washing machine and two airers to use. We have already booked for next year.
