A tale of two holidays The 1st in 2025 was amazing so we rebooked The 2nd was far from the experience we paid for A dead rotting bird which we had to clean up The outside black bin was full upon arrival which by the end of the holiday had insect coming over it The lawn was not mowed we were told it is done every two weeks but not on our weRead moreek We had to deal with ants that were everywhere they this was rectified but the next day The upstairs was cleaned but down stairs had a wipe over hardly what you expect Examples would be the job had food left dust had not been done the hot tub needs attention parts coming away It appears that other renters have not taken care of the rental but this should be inspected and rectified before our arrival Hide

Awesome location. We walked everywhere - beaches, pubs, small shops all very close by. Quite a lot of noise from the road at the bottom of the garden and the rooks in the trees but we got used to it. Would definitely book again.

In general we found the accommodation to be appointed and in a perfect location for the beach and the village amenities. The accommodation had all the modern appliances with all the operating instructions readily available. There was lots of information on the surrounding area which was also useful. It would have been nice to have hand towels in thRead moree bathrooms but not an issue as next time we will bring our own, and yes there will be a next time as we are going to book the property again for next year. That is the best recommendation we can give. Hide

Perhaps a few washing machine tablets to be left same as dishwasher. There seems to be a constant buzz throughout the night. I think from solar panels. As always too many bin Lorries arriving early and on too many days. Overall a lovely stay. For us as just a family of three using only two bedrooms maybe over our budget moving forward. I guess moreRead more expensive because of hot tub. Honestly a wonderful stay and some great memories. Thank you Hide

Absolutely lovely house in very easy reach of the village and the beach. Everything we needed for a great stay was in the property and the decor just made it feel instantly that we were on a beach break.
