Great weekend getaway
Perfect accomodation for our family’s Easter weekend getaway. Very clean and tidy upon arrival and the chocolate rabbits were a nice touch. The place had everything we needed and was close to the beach and town centre. A little deck out the back was great for morning coffees in the sun and the front had easy access parking. Will definitely be staying again. Mike
