Located in a quiet cul-de-sac amongst other similar residential properties there is no view. We took the grand children for a holiday when the rent for the week is high compared to other times of the year. It a short walk to the blue flag beach though and this is a real plus point if the children enjoy this sort of holiday.
The property caters well for a family, the kitchen is really good and there is a lovely dining area. There is wi-fi access but it was very slow, with children hooked on streaming video and on-line gaming this was a plus point for us but the children were a bit put out! The bedrooms were OK with plenty of storage space but we found the beds to be a bit uncomfortable, we struggled to sleep some nights even though we were very tired.
The lounge area had a nice big TV, DVD player and some films, games for the children etc. The soft furnishings were comfy but the carpet and upholstery needed a deep clean.
There is a washer in the garage but there was no dryer or airer that we could find! Children's clothes and beach wear were dried on the radiators. Luckily we had mostly nice weather so the children's clothes were dried outside when we could.
If you are holidaying in the busy season and want to eat out at nearby restaurants, make sure you book. On our first night we ended up eating fish and chips on the seafront, all the restaurants were fully booked!
Although the house is roomy there isn't much of a garden if the children want to play outside.
Finally, we have rented many holiday houses over the years and taking into account the price we paid this was about average, nothing special and there was none of the WOW factor we have experienced in other rental properties.
It is described as a "luxury" house. By our standards it isn't, we have stayed in much better and cleaner places at a far lower cost.
