The location is highly praised for its proximity to beautiful beaches and the convenience of the holiday park. It is considered a great base for exploring the area.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While the beds are described as comfortable, multiple guests have reported the sofa to be worn and uncomfortable, affecting the overall comfort experience.

Would be lovely if they gave all the properties a fresh coat of paint! The cottage is OK, effort has gone into some things but let down by others. On entering the dirty stains on the carpet greet you, not a good first impression. Carpet needs replacing for sure. Sofa looks fine but is not comfortable unfortunately. Fridge is ridiculously small! I wasnât with my family, had I been it is totally inadequate. The main oven thermostat isnât working properly, prepare to burn if youâre not very careful. The kitchen is well equipped with crockery, pans etc. On the plus size beds are comfy and nice white bedding. Good storage in both rooms. Really wouldnât take a big investment to upgrade to a big smile!

There was three people in this cottage and only one could sit on the sofa as the rest of the cushions sunk into the base of the sofa and therefore we could not sit on the double bed in the double bedroom was okay apart from it was taped up with duct tape which obviously wasnât successful cause it still fell apart the general cleaning was okay that there was lots of bits that were this such as edges of furniture skirting boards and also windowsills were dusty and dirty the bin in the bathroom had left over splashed on the top of the lid which wasnât very pleasant when you want to use the bin one of the benches in the living room was also taped up with a duck tape the tiles in the kitchen floor do need replacing as they were very stained I tried washing them to cleanMyself but I think weâll get rid of the stains I understand this is a dog friendly cottage however there are certain things that need cleaning properly
