The property was very clean, well equipped & in an excellent position with superb views out to sea at the front and across fields at the back. Theres easy access to the beach, and a ~10 min walk to pub/restaurant & ice cream shop. Our only niggle was the small double bed - too small for us (were tall & large).

We had a lovely time in Allonby. North Lodge (No 8) was lovely and clean and has a great view of the beech and sea from both the living room and bedroom. Unfortunately the chip shop has gone and the village pub was closed for refurbishment. However, Jack's Surf Bar was open for both food and drink (other than Mon & Tues) and the food was good. AlloRead morenby is a quiet little village but certainly has its own charm and the beech and views are breathtaking. We really enjoyed are start and will return. Hide
