    Room to move in accommodation. Sky tv gave great entertainment options, lots of activities (some free) for the kids, beds comfy, clean, and super great staff... nothing was a problem and all service with a smile. Totally worth the trip and i will definitely book again. Great place for families. So close to everything including fishing at the beach. Kids loved the activities on offer. Thanks for an awesome holiday!

    Our whole family group could all stay together and the house was set up well for large groups. Having 2 bathrooms was excellent! We had an event at the conference centre so it was very convenient being able to stay right next door to it. Lots for kids to do around the area too.

    House was very clean .. perfect for what we needed. With small children the doors had locks up top that the kids couldn't reach so no worries they would run outside & onto the road. There was 7 of us 2 adults 16, 10, 6 & 4yo twins. We had alot of space & it wasn't confined. Loved it .. self checkin was super easy, Host was Absolutely brilliant with contact & replys.

    It was clean, tidy & it was a two bedroom apartment which suited our family. We booked quite short notice for a wedding we had on. The hotel was very central and close to everything. The school park across the road was a bonus for our small children.

    Lovely little cottage, with lots of cute touches, someone has an eye for design!. Very family friendly, our grandchildren gave it a 10/10, plenty outside space for them. We loved our stay, so have booked again for next Christmas!. Clean and comfortable. Not far from the beach, and right next to a playground for the children.
