Woodridings is a splendid house, in a highly desirable location, within easy walking distance of local shops, excellent gastro-pubs and a fine, sandy beach. Its magnificent garden and stunning swimming pool are perfect for families. Inside, the property is spotlessly clean, well-equipped and particularly spacious. And the children loved the facilitRead morey of the two separate televisions downstairs! The owner was most kind and helpful. Woodridings has so much to offer the most discerning guests. Hide

This was one of the best properties we've stayed in. The owner Tim met us when we arrived and made us feel welcome; he was a phone call away if we needed him during the holiday.

Beautiful home and garden, the pool is a wonderful bonus. Ideal location for a family holiday, but one doesnt have to move from the house to have a relaxing or active holiday as the garden is a wonderful site in which to sit or for cricket, football or hide and seek.

We had a lovely week at Woodridings. The house was exceptionally clean. Very spacious and everything we needed was available. The pool is fantastic and we used it at least twice a day. Fabulous location with lots to do nearby.

Brilliant holiday for my friends birthday weekend. Garden was beautiful and well maintained. Garden and house not really overlooked. Ample parking for many cars. Very spacious house. Would definitely recommend compared to similar priced houses in the area.
