This is a stunning holiday rental, we celebrated our Dads 80th Birthday in style! With 8 in our group there was plenty of room to eat, sleep & lounge about. The hot tub was a bonus - high quality and the perfect temp. The view is pretty special too as you watch the tides come & go and the sun rise & set. Just a short 10 minute flat walk into appledRead moreore made it very convenient too. We mostly had a few drinks in The Seagate Hotel and had some great Fish & Chips from The Royal Plaice Chippy Hide
