The property is in an ideal location, a short walk away from the seafront and off road parking makes coming and going easy. The property has always been clean and tidy and has everything you need to enjoy a comfortable break away. Would definitely book again.

Th accommodation is comfortable and clean. It is a stoneâs throw away from the seafront and you can easily walk into the town. Having a designated parking space is also a bonus. It is definitely a accommodation I would recommend.
