Perfect Accommodation and location
Thank you for a wonderful stay. The Shell House is immaculate and so beautifully decorated. It really had the wow factor for my friends surprise Hen Do.
Host was attentive and the little bits left for our arrival were very thoughtful.
Location was fantastic for the beach and shopping.
Thank you and we will be back.
