A lovely family home. Well equipped. Lovely collection of toys and games. Well set up electronically. Good wi-fi and for those that like it Alexa has been added this year. My grandchildren loved that. Several beaches close by, but steep hill might put some people off. Good walking in the area too. Sea perfect for surfing and body boarding as well aRead mores swimming. Good sand for cricket and sandcastles etc. we have used this property for a number of years and have already booked for 2025. Hide

We had an amazing time at Albatross 12. There were 9 of us staying and 1 dog. The location was perfect; close to the beach, shops and pubs. The views from the house were gorgeous. There was everything we needed, and things we didnt know we needed, in the house, and the owners had thoughtfully left ingredients for a cream tea for our arrival. Lots Read moreof room for us all to spread out and chill out, lots of board games that we played on the one rainy day we had. The kitchen was very well equipped and we managed to cook a roast dinner for 9 one day, as well as a bbq another day. We had the best holiday and would love to go back one day. Highly recommend it.

Wonderful position, a property with good outside space with swings and most importantly a hot tub. Obviously mid winter stay so little time spent in garden.
