Beautiful house with great views from the lounge/kitchen/deck area over the bay. Lower bedrooms were warm and quiet, but the master bedroom, whilst having an excellent view and ensuite, was open to the lounge below so not suitable for anyone who goes to bed early in a large group who talk a lot or want to watch TV late into the night. Parking around the rear made loading/unloading easy and was very private. Washing machine/dryer were easy to use; the kitchen was excellent and well stocked (with fresh eggs from the host a nice touch), and the lounge area was very comfortable with a huge TV. If you're a stickler for privacy, there are a lot of blinds to put down at night in the main living area. The nearby Southport Hotel was great for a meal with a range of decent beers on tap; comfortable and well priced imho. Hastings Cave nearby is highly recommended too as the price was very reasonable for the size of the cave and the immense amount of rock formations on display, although I'd recommend study footwear as there are a lot of steps. This property was a great place to stay overall.
