The only down side is the Wi-Fi unsecured access port. A system that requires a password would be ideal

What a stunning house in a gorgeous location. It was decorated and fitted beautifully with comfortable seating in the lounge & sun room. The kitchen dinner was large with a handy separate utility room. The bedrooms were large, comfortable & tastefully decorated. It has an amazingly large enclosed garden and a sheltered patio. We were a large group of friends in our 60,s & had 2 dogs with us this house is perfect for it. It is right next to the fantastic golf course where you can get a large breakfast or lunch. It was a 10 minute walk to the front with bars & restaurants and there are some lovely coastal walks. The hill back up can be challenging but I took it slowly and hopefully built up some fitness!! It’s near some great beaches we went to Sandhead which has a very long sandy beach and a lovely hotel with bar, restaurant and sheltered beer garden. We had a great time with all the comforts of home. Kim the manager was lovely & very helpful. We had a fantastic time and would thoroughly recommend.
