“We had a wonderful week here celebrating Christmas with 3 generations of our family.”

The house was warm, comfortable and very homely, and we appreciated the fully decorated Christmas tree! We ate in almost every day, and the kitchen was really well equipped and well organised, with everything we needed to cook varied meals with enough space for lots of helpers (although we could have done with a small hand food mixer for making the Christmas cake icing!). A big dining table next to the kitchen which was perfect for our extended meals, and loads of space in the top floor ...

The house was warm, comfortable and very homely, and we appreciated the fully decorated Christmas tree! We ate in almost every day, and the kitchen was really well equipped and well organised, with everything we needed to cook varied meals with enough space for lots of helpers (although we could have done with a small hand food mixer for making the Christmas cake icing!). A big dining table next to the kitchen which was perfect for our extended meals, and loads of space in the top floor lounge for 7 of us to relax and play Christmas games. Fabulous views of course from all rooms. Walkable into town for all but the oldest generation who needed a lift up the steep hill. More expensive than other properties we have stayed in but worth it as we had a lovely stay, and we are all looking forward to returning. (note to owners: the dishwasher wasn’t working very well and several items had to be re-washed. Might need a service or a clean? It was better on standard wash, the default setting to “eco” not sufficient, and this was just for cups and glasses, we didn’t use it for pans).

Thank you for taking the time to offer your feedback on your stay at Startline House. The owners have asked us to pass on the following. “It is always satisfying to know that guests appreciate the homely touches at Startline House as we endeavour to make it feel and think of it as an extension of our own family home. There is a hand held food mixer in the cupboard above the microwave together with food scales, cake tins, and a rolling pin for those Mary Berry's amongst us. Sorry you didn't find it for the Christmas cake Icing. We will check the dishwasher. Thank you for your kind comments. Hope to see you again at Startline House. Kind regards & Happy New Year.” Owner relations

“All facilities were spot on and the accommodation was fantastic for all from my 14 month old Granddaughter to my 96 year old Mum.”

Perfect holiday home.

“We had a fabulous stay at Startline House, the photographs do not do it justice at all.”

Spotlessly clean and with everything you could ever need in a holiday home (including gin glasses..hooray!) Three generations all saying the same thing..."more please". We could not find fault - Our new favourite and we will be back. Thank you.

“Stunning location, pictures do not do the view justice!”

Very comfortable clean accommodation with all facilities you could need. Would stay here again.
Mr Christopher Ellis

“Great property with magical views and petty well kitted out.”

However, expensive properties should have comfortable beds and higher quality duvets. Lounge sofas also not comfortable.
Mrs Ann Parker

“The house was clean, spacious and extremely well equipped.”

The views are exceptional and with two sunny terraces to choose from as well as a bit of grassy garden, we were spoilt for choice when it came to relaxing. We were attending a race week at the Yacht Club so the position of the house was ideal, but also very convenient for getting anywhere in the town. Highly recommended!

The position of the house was fantastic however the interior was rather dated and I thought it was expensive taking this in to account I know we were paying for the fabulous view but no ensuites and the furnishings were tired also the kitchen equipment such as cooking tools were sparse
