Castlepoint adventure

Location is excellent. Property was adequate but could do with an update and fresh up. Spring clean wouldn’t go amiss. Curtains need very gentle care as fittings are brittle but understand the sun would do that. Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay.

Lovely little Beachfront stay

We had the most relaxing time staying at this bach. The highlight was definitely the window seats looking out to the ocean and lighthouse. We were pleasantly surprised when the lighthouse lit up! The bach was tidy & cozy, exactly what you would expect from a little bach. We wished we had stayed an extra night though!!

Absolutely stunning location, so close to the beach and lighthouse. Sitting and watching the lighthouse at night was truely spectacular. The beds are pretty uncomfortable and there were potato chip crumbs through one of the single beds that we had to clean off before using.

Cosy haven

The house provided a lovely, cosy haven on a couple of windy, winters days. The view is stunning - I could spend hours just watching the sea and sky! I really appreciated the 12pm check out time too.
