My partner and I had such a lovely stay here. The room was so lovely and modern and such great value for money. The staff were super easy to deal with and warm and welcoming, and the main strip and seaside are a very short walk away. Highly recommend!

A beautiful flat, central yet still quiet. Really well equipped, warm and cosy. Useful info pack and good directions/parking instructions. An added surprise was a bottle of fizz on our arrival, perfect for New Year's Eve. Would definitely book again.

Everything! The gardens were beautiful and the views were amazing. The artwork and artefacts were exceptional. We particularly loved the collection of shells. We had some lovely meals sat at the big round table. The shower was fabulous and the house was warm, the beds were super comfortable. The location was brilliant - a few minutes walk down into town and a 10 minute drive to Knoll beach. Absolutely perfect for a family holiday with 4 kids and a dog!
