We absolutely loved our stay at the netherpod! Our host claire was really helpful with everything and great communication. The pod was spotless and the garden was perfect for our dog to run about. We booked 2 nights but was lucky enough to be able to book a 3rd as we just weren't ready to leave yet. Would definitely stay here again in the future

I can honestly say that my wife and I have never stayed in a more spotless Airbnb in all our years. Clare was extremely helpful and I even had the opportunity to meet her and her husband Keith in person and had a lovely chat. Great people, spotless accommodation, totally private and extremely highly recommended!

Relaxing Sea Front Apartment - Balcony & Parking

TaraRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Dean’s place was tidy and lovely. The location is beautiful with a view of the sea, a short walk from a small harbour. We had a view of the boardwalk as well so if you’re not one for scenic beaches, then it’s also a great chance to people watch. The place was described very accurately. Everything was clean. The beds were comfortable and the hosts have left tiny touches to provide a nice personal touch. Overall, it was an incredibly comfortable stay, we only stayed there for 2 nights but could easily have done more.
