Philip July 2026

“Great property in a great location.”

Everything seemed brand new and in good working order. Very comfortable living areas with all the mod cons. Just a short walk from the vibrant centre of Seahouses. This is a good base for discovering the treasures that Northumberland has to offer. We took 3 cars but only had 2 allocated parking spaces. However, this was NOT a problem as there was space elsewhere in the car patk

- Philip, July 2026

Glad you enjoyed your stay at Sans Souci. Hope you come back again soon Property Owner
Keith July 2026

“A well located house with good parking and high quality fittings.”

Very pleased with our stay if we ever go to Seahouses again I would stay at this location.

We’d be thrilled to welcome you back if you’re ever visiting Seahouses again. We look forward to hosting you in the future! Property Owner

“Excellent accommodation.”

Very tastefully furnished and beds were very comfortable. Owners contacted me to check all was ok and to offer any help I needed.

Amy June 2026

“Had a great stay at Sans Souci, great location in central Seahouses and easy to walk to Bamburgh and Beadnell.”

Well equipped house, nicely decorated and comfortable. Lovely enclosed garden, great for sitting out and the dog. Would recommend.

- Amy, June 2026

Thank you very much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear that you had a great stay at Sans Souci and enjoyed both the central location in Seahouses and the easy walks to Bamburgh and Beadnell. It's wonderful to know that you found the house well equipped, comfortable and nicely decorated, and that the enclosed garden was a bonus for both relaxing and for your dog. Thank you also for recommending us — we really appreciate your kind comments and hope to welcome you back to Sans Souci again in the future. Property Owner
Michael June 2026

“Our family of 5 adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sans Souci (12/6 to 19/6 ).”

We have holidayed in the Seahouses/Bambugh area for a number of years,and this property is the best we have stayed at by far.It is in a ideal location in Seahouses,spotlessly clean,very comfortable and with all the facilities provided to make your stay a relaxing experience.Would like to make 2 recommendations to the owners as follows:- A dressing table in the twin bedroom would be very useful. Coat hooks behind ground floor bedroom door also beneficial due to limited hanging space in wardrobe. Will book this accommodation again. Many thanks on behalf of the family, Mike.

- Michael, June 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, Mike. We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay at Sans Souci and that it’s the best property you’ve stayed in after so many visits to the Seahouses/Bamburgh area. It means a great deal to us. We also really appreciate your suggestions. We’ll certainly look into adding a coat hook behind the ground floor bedroom door. We recently added the drawer unit in that room to provide some extra storage for clothes, so hopefully that has helped a little too. A dressing table in the twin room is something we’ll definitely consider for the future. At the moment, we tend to keep that room as flexible as possible, as we often use additional put-up beds there when friends and family stay with us. There is also the dressing table in the master bedroom for guests to use. Thank you again for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back to Sans Souci in the future. Property Owner
David May 2026

“The location of the property is fantastic, as was the communication from the owners.”

Rooms were all of a good size and the welcome pack was appreciated. However: I must disagree with some of the earlier feedback regards cleanliness. On arrival at the property we found nuts on the rug in the living room. After a couple of days there one of our party was really struggling with allergies, primarily it seemed when he was in the living room area. On closer examination of the rug it was matted in dog hairs. On pulling out the unit underneath the TV it had clearly not been cleaned in some time. We gave the place a thorough hoover ourselves and he was much better after the living room was given a proper clean. I would also add that both showers are barely more than a trickle and the fridge is poor - we struggled to keep things cold. In summary a very well located property but needs some TLC in my opinion to justify the price being charged for it.

- David, May 2026

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind comments about the location, communication and welcome pack. We’re very sorry to hear that the property was not up to our usual standards of cleanliness on arrival. Had we been made aware during your stay, particularly when we checked in with you, we would have immediately arranged for our cleaning team to return and rectify the issues. We take your feedback regarding the dog hair and areas that had been missed very seriously and will be addressing this with our cleaners. Thank you also for bringing the fridge to our attention. We will investigate this and replace it if necessary. Regarding the water pressure, this can unfortunately be affected at peak times, particularly if both showers are being used simultaneously. We are actively working with our plumber to explore possible solutions, although the current incoming water supply is already close to its maximum capacity. We appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us identify areas for improvement, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Property Owner
Lee May 2026

“Accomodation was very clean and tidy, plenty of parking right outside the door and very spacious inside.”

Small back garden which was ideal for our 2 dogs. Only 2 mins walk from all the shops, cafe's, restaurants/ takeaways and seafront/ beaches. Very quite at night as well.

- Lee, May 2026

Thank you for the lovely review. Property Owner
Jan May 2026

“This was the best rental we have ever stayed in.”

Attention to detail was above and beyond. The owners have gone to a great deal of trouble to cater for everything and everybody. Thankou. The only downside was the weather and that's not anyone's fault.

- Jan, May 2026

Thank you for the lovely review. Really sorry about the weather. Hopefully it will improve soon. Property Owner
Karen April 2026

“The accommodation at Sans Souci was lovely.”

The house was clean and had basic essentials to start us off on the first night. The house is located a 5 minute walk from the centre of Seahouses. The owners were happy to answer questions and provided some great recommendations for places to visit and some lovely pubs and restaurants. Having a bedroom and shower room downstairs was really nice for my elderly dad so he didn’t have to climb the stairs. We had a fantastic week and would highly recommend a stay at Sans Souci.

- Karen, April 2026

Thank you so much for such a lovely review – it really means a lot to us. We’re so glad you had a fantastic week at Sans Souci and that everything helped you feel at home from the moment you arrived. It’s great to hear the location worked well for you and that you enjoyed exploring Seahouses and some of our favourite spots. We always enjoy sharing recommendations, so it’s nice to know they added to your stay. We’re especially pleased the downstairs bedroom and shower room made things easier for your dad. You’re definitely not alone in that – members of our own family love the fact we have ground floor facilities too. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience and for the recommendation. You’d be very welcome back anytime. Property Owner
Lesley April 2026

“Lovely cottage very well equipped with everything you need for a lovely holiday.”

Very well placed for easy walking access to all the restaurants and shops etc in Seahouses. This was our 4th visit and we will be back.

Diane November 2025

“We really liked our time in Seahouses.”

This property is ideally situated close to the centre of Seahouses, close to the shops, pubs, many that serve good food and fish or indian restaurants. The property is very clean and has a relaxed atmosphere. There is everything you need to have a good holiday. Comfy beds, 2 bathrooms and overall a great property with friendly owners.

- Diane, November 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time in Seahouses and found the property comfortable, clean and well-located for everything the village has to offer.

Stuart September 2025

“A lovely versatile property, fully fitted with everything required and situated close to a supermarket, great restaurants and a few yards further on, beaches, harbour and shops.”

Fantastic location for exploring the wider area where many little gems of beaches, villages, pubs & restaurants can be found. Felt at home immediately walking through the door. A gorgeous welcome hamper greatly appreciated. Would happily recommend and stay again in a heartbeat. We all absolutely loved Seahouses.

- Stuart, September 2025

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the lovely review. Hope you stay again soon. Property Owner
Allison August 2025

“Sans Souci is the most beautiful, comfortable holiday home we have stayed in in the most perfect location Sans Souci has everything you need and more the owners have thought of everything, it is cosy, well decorated and just stunning.”

Sans Souci was spotlessly clean all beds extremely comfortable with beautiful bedding and towels included in your stay. Location is key for us slightly tucked away but you have everything just a short walk away, pubs, restaurants, shops, stunning beaches what more could you ask for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again we truly did not want to leave Thank you

- Allison, August 2025

Glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the lovely review. We hope you come back soon. Property Owner

Glad you have enjoyed your visit with us again. Property Owner
Claire June 2025

“Fabulous property in a great location.”

Minutes to shops and places to eat. Great quality beds & linen. Lovely welcome pack, coffee machine etc. Bit of music from nearby property whilst work is carried out but we were out every day anyway. Dog friendly, not allowed in bedrooms or on furniture. Great equipment with washer (and washing line), large fridge/freezer, utensils and TV in all rooms. Great secure garden, spotlessly clean. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

- Claire, June 2025

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. The property is dog friendly and assume owners will bring the dog beds and throws for the comfort of their furry guests. Property Owner
Richard April 2025

“Second stay at Sans Souci.”

Fantastic modern property which is immaculate inside and out. Fantastic location in the heart of Seahouses,close to shops, pubs and everything you need. Close to the beach and some fantastic views along the Northumberland coast. Would have no problems recommending this property and location for a brilliant holiday.

- Richard, April 2025
Lesley March 2025

“We had another lovely stay at Sans Souci.”

We stayed there last October and enjoyed it so much that we came back for another week. It was perfect for us our daughter an partner and 2 young children and our dog. A safe enclosed back garden and a separate kitchen which the dog could sleep in rather than open plan to the lounge etc which many holiday cottages have nowadays. Very close to food and other shops and lots of good restaurants and takeaways which meant very little cooking for the week which was a great break. Insieme Seahouses is an Italian restaurant where you can have Pasta, Pizza and beef, chicken and fish dishes to take away as well as eat in. A bonus for us with the dog and small children. Thank you Richard and Becca

- Lesley, March 2025
Ron March 2025

“After a long drive we were welcomed to 'Sans Souci' and found it comfortable, spacious, modern, fully equipped, every convenience catered for, with the added bonus of dedicated parking in a very quiet location, and with all that you need to stay right in the heart of Seahouses; we have highly recommended this accommodation to our friends and will be re-booking for our 2026 visit.”

- Ron, March 2025

Thank you for the lovely review. Glad that you enjoyed your stay and that you would recommend Sans Souci. Hope to have you stay with us again in the future. Property Owner
Kenneth January 2025

“Absolutely stunning, comfortable, clean modern holiday home.”

We would definitely recommend this property to visit. Our only issue is the mattress in the upstairs king size bed was too soft, but that is our personal preference, overall 5 star. Thank you for the welcome pack, it was so appreciated.

- Kenneth, January 2025

Thank you for the lovely review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. The master bedroom has a memory foam topper which can be removed. If you book with us again please let us know and we can arrange for this to be removed. Many thanks Property Owner
David January 2025

“The cleaning company let you down , had they taken a little longer on the finer details then the stay from start to finish would have been faultless.”

Easy fix though and it didn’t spoil a fantastic place to stay we would still highly recommend we loved staying here and will be back . We had such a lovely relaxing week in a stunning property.

- David, January 2025

Thank you for the feedback and sorry that the cleaning wasn't to our usually high standards. We have passed your comments onto the cleaning company and will get feedback from them. We hope you will stay with us again soon to give us the chance to correct this and we will make sure your stay it the 5 star stay that it should be. Many thanks Property Owner
Kevin December 2024

“We have rented many properties around the UK but can honestly say that this is the first one that has lived up to the description and pictures - we were not disappointed!”

The owners have thought of everything to make your stay perfect - we do a lot of cooking at home due to dietary needs and we cooked many meals including our Christmas dinner. The owners left a beautiful welcome hamper which is the best we’ve ever had with quality items - basically the property is stunning, well maintained and stylishly furnished - it felt like home straight away. Thank you

- Kevin, December 2024

Good to hear that you had a great stay at Sans Souci. It certainly is a home from home. Hope you stay again soon. Property Owner
Lesley October 2024

“Very nice, comfortable, well equiaxed property.”

Greta for access to a the facilities in Seahouses with 2 beaches in walking distance and also lots of others a short drive away. Great encased garden for the dog which is important. We are staying again in March next year and looking forward to it. The only thing I would change would be the benches at the kitchen table were very awkward to move and sit at with 2 people and would have been even more difficult with 6. I think chairs would be more practical and comfortable.

- Lesley, October 2024

Glad that you had a nice stay and that you have booked again for next year. We would agree with you about the benches. They came with the house. However we are hoping to change one of them at some point for chairs. We find pulling it away from the wall helps when we have 6 round it. Property Owner
Sarah October 2024

“A beautiful place with ample parking, and a safe garden for the dog.”

A little welcome pack and treat jar for our dog, was lovely. Thank you. We had a very special stay!

Glad you had a good stay. Thank you. Property Owner
Wendy September 2024

“We have stayed in Seahouses several times throughout the years and this property is by far the best.”

Great location, home from home. Perfect nights sleep. Ideal for our dogs with enclosed rear garden with bowls treats etc provided Clean and well equipped. Contacted by owners on arrive which was a lovely gesture. Wendy David and family

Very clean. spacious and well equipped. Very useful for us to have an EV charger.

- Robert, September 2024

Glad to hear you found the EV charger useful. Property Owner
Jeremy September 2024

“We really liked the property and found it very clean and well looked after.”

The facilities were excellent and the rear garden was certainly dog safe with good solid fencing all round so no fears of our bog “wandering off”. 5 minutes from the coastal path made dog walking a true joy. Will definitely revisit.

- Jeremy, September 2024

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return again soon. Property Owner

Susan August 2024

“Loved our stay at Sans Souci again this year.”

Lovely house, situated back off the main road with ample parking right outside and well situated to access all the local amenities. The house was equipped with excellent facilities throughout, everything we needed for our weeks stay. Owners were attentive during the week and left a welcome basket on arrival which was much appreciated.

- Susan, August 2024

We are glad you had a great second stay. Thank you for leaving such a great review. Property Owner

Beautifully decorated to a high standard. Lovely welcome pack on arrival, which was a nice gesture. There was even a ball and treats left for Willow and Mabel which they loved

Jeff June 2024

“We enjoyed a fabulous stay at Sans Souci.”

The property is lovely, and very well equipped. The location is very central to all the amenities in Seahouses, short walk to shops, pubs, beaches etc. Thoroughly recommended.

- Jeff, June 2024
Lisa May 2024

“My family and I recently returned from a 5-day stay at San Souci Seahouses, and it was absolutely perfect.”

We stayed as a family of 5, including our dog Luna, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The house itself is beautifully decorated, with every detail carefully thought out by the owners. The upstairs bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes, and the downstairs bathroom even has a magnifier on the mirror. The kitchen is well-equipped with added extras, and the lounge features the comfiest couch we've ever had the pleasure of sitting on. The little welcome basket was a lovely gesture, Luna loved her ball for the beach -thank you. In terms of location, the house is just a short walk away from several charming little pubs where we enjoyed delicious lunches and dinners. The Coop, where we could get our essential groceries, was also just a few minutes away. Additionally, the harbour, where we discovered the most amazing donuts, was only a 5-minute walk from the house. And within a 10 minute walk, we found ourselves on the most picturesque beaches we've ever seen. Overall, this little hideaway was perfect for our family, and we can't wait to return in the future.

- Lisa, May 2024
Richard May 2024

“A lovely dog friendly property in a great location right in the centre of Seahouses but tucked away to be nice and peaceful.”

The property itself is well furnished and was spotless. Four of us stayed with two Jack Russell’s and we had a fantastic time. 2mins walk to the shops and some lovely pubs and only 5mins to the beech. The coastline is stunning! If you enjoy walking the coastal walks in this area and second to none!

- Richard, May 2024
Stephen May 2024

“Had a fabulous 60th birthday weekend celebration at San Souci.”

To say our friends were impressed on our choice was an understatement the accommodation was beautifully decorated and very modern and clean with everything we needed. The basket of goodies was really appreciated and a very special touch. The accommodation was central and it was great that we had parking spaces to use as Seahouses does get very congested . Would definitely return . There was only one minor thing in that the grass had not been cut and I had to clean down the garden furniture but that did not detract from our wonderful stay . Thank you again for making our weekend so special

- Stephen, May 2024

Glad to hear you had a great weekend celebrating. Sorry that the gardener wasn’t able to cut the grass prior to your stay. They have been battling the weather unfortunately. We will look to get a cover for the garden furniture to protect it from the elements. Property Owner
Julie April 2024

“Absolutely superb property in a brilliantly convenient location.”

So many added comforts such as a super-large sofa area, beds to sink into and a well-stocked kitchen. It worked perfectly for a multi-generational family with a bedroom and bathroom downstairs. Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful property and for the generous treats (including from our four-legged friends who are missing watching the seagulls on the garden fence a lot!)

- Julie, April 2024
Sally March 2024

“Lovely home which was spotlessly clean and situated in a quiet location in the centre of Seahouses.”

Really comfortable and beautifully furnished with a thoughtful welcome gift. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

- Sally, March 2024
Patricia March 2024

“We had a really good stay.”

The accommodation was perfect everything you needed was supplied- it was clean and very comfortable. The house was very near the local shops and places to eat - we tried the Black Swan which was excellent. Nice that the owners checked with us that all was ok. All in all a perfect place to stay .Would highly recommend.

- Patricia, March 2024
Catherine March 2024

“Excellent, if I was able to give more than five stars I certainly would.”

Could not fault this property at all. Unbelievably well equipped compared to anything else we have been to. There is everything you need for a day at the beach (even bucket and spade). There is nothing you will need for the kitchen, plenty of books and games for the wet days. The property is minutes from Seahouses and positioned in the middle of Beadnell and Bamburgh. We will definately be back.

- Catherine, March 2024
Dianne March 2024

“We stayed here for the weekend with our sons, their partners, and dog .”

We were all impressed with Sans Souci, it truly is a 5 star property. It was absolutely pristine, the beds were extremely comfortable with quality linens and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need . The living space is perfect for families or groups of friends and being able to access the utility room from the rear garden made it easy to keep everything clean after long walks on the beach . The jar of gravy bones for the dog was a nice touch. The house is ideally placed to walk to the beach, the golf course and several of the coastal paths. The Black Swan, a very nice dog friendly gastro pub is only 5 mins walk as are the shops. Scots, the local butcher, sell high quality meats and their sausages are fantastic. Rebecca and Richard, the owners of Sans Souci contacted us by phone on our arrival to check everything was ok and were contactable should we have needed anything. We will definitely be back .

- Dianne, March 2024

Lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope you come back soon. Property Owner
Pearl Mar 2024

“It has been an absolute pleasure to stay in your extremely modern, yet cosy and comfortable property.”

The standard of cleanliness and facilities were excellent and well above our expectations. There was nothing extra we needed that wasn’t readily available in the property. It is in a great location off the main road in a secluded and quiet cul-de-sac, yet close to everything that Seahouses has to offer and within easy distance to some great places of significant interest. We have had a wonderful holiday and can’t recommend Sans Souci highly enough.

- Pearl, Mar 2024
Jennifer February 2024

“Great house.”

Has everything you could need. All the interior finished to a very high standard. Beds very comfortable. Everything very clean. Nespresso machine, washer / dryer available to use. Electric charger for car also available via an app. Literally 5 minutes walk to shops and pubs, 10 minutes walk to beach. Great walk along the coast to Bamburgh. Owners made contact to check everything and were very attentive. Great place to stay, would definitely recommend.

- Jennifer, February 2024

Glad you enjoyed your stay and all that Sans Souci has to offer. Thank you for the recommendation Property Owner
Michael Feb 2024

“An ideal situation in Seahouses close to the harbour and all the amenities.”

Beautiful appointed accommodation decorated and maintained to a high standard. Close to many of the excellent attractions that Northumbria has to offer.

- Michael, Feb 2024
Denise January 2024

“Lovely property with everything you need - a real home away from home.”

Very close and within walking distance to the pubs and restaurants of Seahouses which is very dog friendly. Owners were great and checked in on us via phone the day after we arrived to ensure everything was ok. Totally recommend.

- Denise, January 2024
Amanda December 2023

“This is a beautiful holiday let tucked away in the heart of Seahouses.”

There is private parking directly outside the property for 2 cars . The garden is fully enclosed which if you have 2 little dogs like we do is a big plus & can be hard to find . The property was lovely & warm on arrival & most importantly spotlessly clean. It can be tricky to find dog friendly properties that don’t have any signs that there have been dogs there , but Sans Souci definitely comes through on this . We visited in the week before Christmas & the tree / decorations were a nice surprise. The kitchen is spacious & well equipped, leading on to the enclosed garden. The lounge is very comfortable with a large corner sofa . All 3 bedrooms have excellent storage, especially the 2 upstairs which have walk in wardrobes. Lovely thick fluffy towels , and crisp white sheets . The welcome pack was incredible, and contained local produce including jam , chutneys & free range eggs . Excellent coffee machine with plenty of pods . Another plus which can be overlooked, is we didn’t arrive to overflowing bins , with a request to ‘put them out ‘ etc. They were discreetly taken care of whilst we were there . Sans Souci is definitely one of the best holiday lets we have stayed in , & we would 100% recommend.

- Amanda, December 2023
Joy Dec 2023

“Beautiful well equipped holiday home.”

Ground floor bedroom and bathroom is ideal for anyone travelling with elderly or disabled relatives. Ideal location in a lovely part of Northumberland. Something for everyone in the family. Amazing beaches and attractions on your doorstep. Plenty of local gastro pubs and takeaways in the village. Can’t wait to come back.

- Joy, Dec 2023
Martyn November 2023

“Finished and equipped to a very high level throughout in a quiet cul de sac a stones throw from the centre of Seahouses - it doesn't get any better!”

Comfy beds, good heating if needed, everything you need in the kitchen, multiple TVs, good wi-fi, and loads of thoughtful touches from dog biscuits to starter supplies and loads of games. Communications were friendly, helpful and quick. The enclosed back garden is ideal for dogs. Loved it.

- Martyn, November 2023

Thank you for the lovely feedback. Hope you visit again soon Property Owner
Gordon Nov 2023

“When we had our visit, we found it an amazing place to stay, so clean, so well equipped and finished to an extremely high standard.”

The beds were super comfy, the lounge was great for relaxing, and the kitchen was well equipped for every eventuality. It was a cold weekend but the heating system kept us very toasty with the underfloor heating. The village of Seahouses is a lovely place to visit with great walks around the harbour and excellent places nearby to visit. Would highly recommend anyone to say there.

- Gordon, Nov 2023
Julie October 2023

“The perfect place for a family getaway with everything you need provided.”

The house is really well appointed, warm and comfortable and we felt very relaxed. It's also in a great location with easy parking and a two minute walk to the shops, cafés and other attractions. We walked to the beach most days, which is only a ten minute walk at most. Seahouses has a range of places to eat out, including fish and chips, Italian and Indian restaurants and a choice of pubs. We loved driving a few miles to Bamburgh or Embleton and walking along the beach.

- Julie, October 2023

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Sounds like you visited plenty of the local places Property Owner

The owners are extremely helpful and were kind enough to leave us a ‘welcome pack’ containing lots of tasty local foods. We enjoyed our short break in spite of some terrible weather and we would recommend Sans Souci to anyone interested in exploring the Northumberland coast.

“As return guests we were equally impressed with Sans Souci as we were on our first stay.”

The accommodation is right up there with the best self catering we have stayed in ( and we've stayed in a lot ). Quiet central location, lovely welcome pack, the standard of everything is 5*. Have already recommended to friends and family.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the house was gorgeous.”

It has everything we could have possibly needed, even our dog. The best equipped kitchen we’ve ever experienced at a holiday cottage. The house is perfectly located, just a short walk from the centre of Seahouses, yet in a peaceful location. Short distance from pubs, restaurants and a Co-op. The welcome hamper was much appreciated. We didn’t want to leave and look forward to coming back.

Thank you for the glowing review. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return soon. Property Owner

“Sans Souci is a beautiful property, very well appointed for easy access into Seahouses.”

We took my disabled Mother and she had the downstairs bedroom and bathroom and it was very well equipped. The property is only a few minutes walk into town to a variety of shops, pubs, chippies and a lovely harbour. Again, easy to wheel my Mum into town. I’d recommend the Black Swan pub, both for dining and 2 for 1 cocktails. Sans Souci is also very conveniently located for outings to Bamburgh, Newton by the Sea and Lindisfarne and only a few minutes from wonderful stretches of idyllic beaches. Sans Souci is extremely well equipped, with very comfortable beds, spotlessly clean - and beautiful chandeliers!

Thank you for leaving such a lovely review. The Black Swan is a favourite of ours too. Property Owner

“The property is in a quiet setting off the main road and is very handy for shops, walks and eateries.”

The owners were very attentive, despite not physically being there. They made contacting them really simple and when we requested an extra fan it was ordered and delivered 24 hours later! The property had a very well equipped kitchen, so the nights we ate in weren’t a problem as everything we needed was provided. If it wasn’t the owners made it clear to contact them. Games were provided, a lovely welcome pack was provided and items to take to the beach, should you wish to, were readily available. We would definitely stay there again.

Thank you for the lovely feedback. Glad to hear that you want to come back. Property Owner

“We had a fantastic stay at Sans Souci.”

The property was immaculately clean and was tastefully furnished. The owners had obviously a flair for modern design. It has a nice enclosed garden in which we enjoyed sunny evenings with our dog. We can’t recommend this highly enough, (although perhaps we shouldn’t as we want some vacancies for us to go again next year!). Thank you Richard and Becca, see you again soon.

- Gary, June 2023

Glad to hear you had a great time. Hope Lucy had some good doggie days on the beach and it wasn’t too hot for her. Property Owner
