    Everyone liked the accomodation but what spoiled our stay were the RATS in the rear yard. They were literally using it as a rat run all day. As a result we were unable to use outside facilities . we contacted the owner of the property who advised us that he was aware of the problem and promised to get someone down to deal with the problem. This did not happen. As a group we felt very disappointed that we had paid good money to rent a property with a serious health hazard. If there had been children in the party we would have left immediately. We all feel that we should be compensated. we await your reply with interest. Stephen Hollis

The town boasts a number of excellent restaurants and eateries with a particular nod to its seaside location so there is always plenty of seafood and fish on the menu.
