Penrose was designed for convalescing war veterans seeking a quiet resting place built above the beach. It is now a holiday home arranged on one floor and retaining much of its original charm and character. This cosy property, which has undergone extensive internal refurbishment and redecoration, is equipped to the highest standard and is designed to be charming, comfortable, practical and relaxing. Penrose has been sympathetically restored and is well proportioned with great views, of the Sea it is ideally suited for quiet breaks and hectic family holidays alike.
