Overlooking the estuary, this five-star sleep 4 holiday home benefits from breathtaking views across the waterway. Its convenient location makes it a top choice for a quick getaway with activities and amenities a short walk away.
The outside terrace makes for a good viewing platform though if that's a bit chilly for your liking, there are plenty of opportunities to see the display from inside too. Floor-to-ceiling glass and French doors provide a great lookout from the lounge whilst the upstairs bedrooms all have large windows through which you can see the display. The comfortable and contemporary sofas make for a cosy space to warm up after an evening outside watching the fireworks overhead.
