Beautiful house, very well equipped and furnished. The house was spotlessly clean on arrival and there are many lovely furnishings in the house which really make it a home from home. Everything in the house you would need for a holiday and close to the town centre and beach. We would most certainly recommend this property to our friends and family.Read more Hide

Olive Tree House is a beautiful holiday home in an ideal location for the beach, High Street and local park. Our three generational family were very comfortable in this lovely house making full use of the wonderful facilities. The two dishwashers were a great addition and worked extremely well. My only disappointment was the lack of a Welcome Pack Read more- not even a pint of milk! Hide
