This newly refurbished two storey house is a gorgeous little getaway by the sea.

Also on the ground floor is the beautiful and bright kitchen and dining area. The modern style, grey cupboards and wooden worktops bring a real sense of home to the room. Fully equipped with everything you should need for a short break you can cook up a feast here. The rectangular wooden dining table seats four people comfortably with matching chairs.

The king size bed features a padded, light brown headboard and is dressed with crisp white linen, red cushions and light grey throw. The bed can also be split into two singles upon request if this is more suitable for your stay.

The second bedroom features a double bed and has a cosy vibe about it. The bed is dressed with a bold purple throw and matching cushions. This cosy and tranquil space is the perfect retreat after a busy day by the coast.

The house was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Great location for exploring the local area. Easy parking on the main road outside.

We were only given 2 normal towels for the 4 of us and when I requested more they didn’t bring any. We ended up having to buy some which was poor service.

Very clean, excellent decor and furnishings. Everything provided appliance wise. Nice home.

Duvet too small in front bedroom. Did not cover the bed even before anyone got in.. Very small hand basin in bathroom, ideal for washing hands but did not hold sufficient water for a face wash. Host and Stay did not provide any access information until chased up on 2 different occasions. Then, I received several emails duplicating my receipts. Would not use again.

It was clean and comfy

One of our party struggled with the stairs as the bannister rail stopped well short of the top

Clean, spacious

I would be very reluctant to book accommodation with “Host & Stay” again, due to the fact that after pre-paying the accommodation for £350 (2 nights) they would not provide access details to the house until I paid another £250 as a deposit (this last item was not advertised clearly from the outset). I had to prompt them a number of times to initiate refund of the deposit which eventually was returned after a week.

 

They also insisted that we left the premises at 10am on an Easter Sunday morning, not time to have a nice breakfast with the family – had to leave in a rush. Check-out time should be 12 o’clock in my view.

 

When we arrived, the house had a smell of damp, although it was clean and tidy. The house was very cold the 1st night, bathroom was cold in the morning.

 

The whole experience felt that Host & Stay’s priority was the money,  and they lacked attention to make the experience more welcoming.

Great place and definitely happy to book again. We done damage, which we agreed but I felt the charge for damage wasn’t fair and I hope they can better in the future assist fare damage value.
