Tern Place review

"Having already stayed previously at Plover House, we thought it would be good to try Tern Place next door and we were not disappointed. Space and facilities were exactly as expected, well appointed, clean and inviting. Small touches of a welcome hamper, toiletries and beach towels enhanced the feeling the wish for guests to enjoy everything about their stay. Even tablets/capsules were provided for washing machine and dishwasher. The boiler room acted as a drying room too. Each bedroom had TV facilities and if the weather turned chilly, underfloor heating kept individual spaces cosey. Adequate chiller/freezer space with a well-equipped kitchen for a large group of 8 adults. Access and parking was fine and location was perfect. Certainly will be booking with Kelling Estate again and can recommend without hesitation. True home from home experience."
