Lives up to it's name!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Breathe. A very clean, cosy, comfortable stay for our family. We felt spoilt on arrival to find bubbles and snacks! Breathe was the perfect size for our family of four. The spa bath was a favourite. The location is great, with walking distance to playgrounds, the beach and takeaways/coffee. It was a relaxing stay and we would stay again.

Wonderful
My partner and I absolutely loved our stay here. The house looked even better than the pictures and the double spa bath was a great bonus. Very close to amenities that my partner and I decided to walk around foxton beach rather than drive. All in all, it was a wonderful stay and we would highly recommend staying at "Breathe".
