Welcome

Our self-catering ground floor flat is situated in the centre of a modern purpose built block which is approximately thirty five years old. Sandringham Court is located in the High Street and is close to the beach, town centre and open countryside - all about 8 - 10 minutes walk. As the High Street has an uphill gradient from the beach and town centre, the flat may be unsuitable for those visitors using wheelchairs or with restricted mobility. We want to make everyone's stay as enjoyable as possible so we aim to accurately describe our services and facilities to give you the confidence to book our property, but we would encourage you to contact us if you have any questions or require any clarification.
