We stayed here as a couple only, for one week. Such a beautiful and well-equipped house .

Helen

Our stay at Southbank was a little slice of luxury. Perfect for all ages, the house is ideally situated for beach walks... and dips in the hot tub when the weather isn't playing ball! The house is equipped to an exceptionally high standard and I was only sorry we couldn't stay longer. Would love to come back if we get the chance.

This house is a real gem. Absolutely beautiful inside and outside. The beach is approx 1 min from the house, beautiful walk down along the coast. The sunsets were incredible, especially when you get to watch it from the hot tub. Robert was an amazing host, on call for any issues (all minor) we had. Have already rebooked for next year!
