The Albatross 12 Reviews

Emma
We loved the stunning views and peaceful setting! The house was super comfy, well stockedand roomy. The sauna and hot tub made our stay extra special - honestly, we felt so lucky to have them!
Michael
We loved staying here! The place was ideal for our family of nine, with fantastic views and all the essentials plus some extra touches. Highly recommended!
Emma
We had a fantastic stay at this family home! The place is really well stocked with toys and games, which kept the kids entertained. The electronics setup is straightforwardand the Wi-Fi was reliable - plus, Alexa was a fun addition for the children. The proximity to beaches is great, although the steep hill might be a challenge for some. There's lovely walking in the area too, perfect for those who enjoy outdoor activities. We've been coming here for years and already booked for 2025 - can't wait to return!
Mark
We've been coming here for six years nowand it really fits our lifestyle, especially when we visit with our kids and grandkids. Love it!
Emma Clarke
We recently stayed at Albatross 12 and honestly, it was fantastic. There were nine of us plus our dogand the house really suited us all. The location couldn't be better - just a short walk to the beach, shopsand pubs. The views from the house were stunningand the place had everything we needed, plus some lovely touches like ingredients for a cream tea on arrival. We appreciated the space to relax and spread out, especially on the rainy day when we dug out the board games. The kitchen was well-stocked, enabling us to cook a proper roast for nine one day, then a barbecue on another. We had such a brilliant holiday and would definitely love to come back. Highly recommend this place-for a relaxing getaway, it's perfect!
James
We loved the location, especially the outside space with swings and a hot tub - perfect for relaxing. The nest was cosy, clearly new or freshly renovatedand it felt just right. We stayed during winter, so didn't get much garden time, but the kids had a blast. Honestly, we'd happily live there someday. It's a lovely spot!
Emma
Really impressed with how flexible and well-equipped the property was.
