10/10 Excellent
"Booked a weekend away here and absolutely loved it. Husband and I keep talking about how great this location was. Room was very clean, had an amazing view of the course, staff were very friendly and accommodating with our toddler. We really loved having access to the pool/sauna/gym. Made the stay so much more relaxing and enjoyable. We are already talking about coming back for another trip here soon."

Gorgeous Stone Cottage on the Seafront

8/10 Good
"We were familiar with the cottage so we were looking forward to spending our time sitting on the front verandah enjoying the sea view. Upon arrival we were very disappointed to find the view completely blocked by Atco Huts ( works being done on the sea wall ). If we had known we wouldn't have booked. A shame because we loved the cottage."
