The flat is large and spacious with fantastic views of the sea and harbour.

Its mostly about the view at Oceans Edge, and I have say that it is fabulous. Generally there's plenty of room inside (although the single beds can be a bit small for adults). The log basket was empty, so if youre planning to use the Wood Burner make sure you being kindling and logs. It doesnt actually throw much heat out, but does add to a cosy wiRead morenter ambiance.
