We were delighted with the accommodationin a lovely location with views of the sea and furnished to a high standard (the balcony was an added bonus). The small kitchen was fully equipped and clean and the shower room was contemporary with a large shower. Everything had been very well planned and we look forward to returning to this holiday gem !

Very clean and comfortable . Lovely sea view. The Downs was very close to shops and pubs serving food. Was also great for local bus services . The kitchen was tiny but had everything you needed if you wanted to make a meal. The only downside was the parking, non outside the house.We parked on the nearby car park on the first day- £10 for 24 hrs.Next day we found a space near the train lift to the beach and left the car there all week.(used the buses)
