Emma

The house was spotless, with incredible views. Walking to the beach was easy and quick. Honestly, we couldn't fault it at all-absolutely loved it!

James

The house is lovely in a great spot, but not ideal for dogs. The driveway's tricky to navigate and the view of the road isn't perfect either.

Rachel

Wayside is such a lovely spot, really feels welcoming and homely. The views are stunningand it's close to the beach which is great. Beds were super comfy with nice linenand the kitchen had everything we needed. The hot tub was a real highlight, nice and clean. Only thing I'd say is the BBQ could do with an upgrade. We'd come back for sure!

Mark

We loved the location, with stunning views and just a quick stroll to the vast beach and the lovely Beachside restaurant. Highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone really!
