Thankes House provides an excellent all seasons holiday location for large groups and is comortably furnished and equipped. The views over the sea are spectacular and the location is good with suitable activities for all ages. Highly recommended.

After reading about the building works going on I was quite concerned but can honestly say we weren’t bothered by any noise throughout our stay. The house is spacious and comfortable plenty of room for our party of 10 adults and one child. We had great weather so made good use of the garden barbecue hot tub and fabulous pool. Wonderful views of the sea. Would highly recommend. ...

Thankes house was great for an extended family weekend get together. Pool and hot tub mean you don’t have to worry about the weather. Will be even nicer when the building work is finished.

Our group of 5 adults and 3 young children enjoyed this large family cottage, with great private facilities including well heated pool & hot tub, games room and cinema room, and easy website booking of additional spa facilities for private use. The sea views from 4 of the bedrooms are fantastic and make up for the more basic decor. WiFi was good but phone signal is unfortunately poor in the whole area. Suggest taking your own portable music speakers and own toiletries. We would certainly rebook if returning to the area....

Wonderful house, with stunning views, although building work is obviously happening to the hotel in front, to the side & behind Thanckes House, we were fortunate that all work had stopped over the festive period, not impacting our stay. Once all built work around is complete I wouldn’t hesitate in booking again....
