Three generations ranging in age from 17 months to 70 years for a birthday weekend, accommodated under one roof in remarkable harmony. The house is very well equipped with pretty much everything you could dream of needing from toys for the little ones to tvs - though no wifi for 'those-who-must-be-connected'. The house was clean and welcoming when we arrived and comfortably absorbed us all. There is a Morrisons supermarket within 5 minutes walk and everything that you would expect from a seaside town in easy reach: a beach, a pier, a fun fair, an esplanade, ice creams, coffees, fish and chips, pubs, a walk to a lighthouse. The lifeboat museum is worth a visit, not least to learn about Henry Blogg. We did not touch the cars all weekend.
