Joanne
The open plan layout suited us perfectly for a family holiday. The property was clean and well maintained, and finished to a very high standard throughout. The addition of an outdoor hanging rail for wetsuits was much appreciated. We found the mattress in the master bedroom to be too firm so didnât sleep well, but this is our personal preference. Overall this is one of the best holiday properties we have stayed in.

We walked in opened the window in lounge to find 3 bags of dog poo sat their on the wall by the back gate by garden area . The inside was perfect but the outside grass really needed a cut and the huge piece of slab over the tables which took 2 to remove and everything was really dirty I know their was bad wheather the week before but the cleaners have from 9am and other parties do not arrive till 4pm which I feel is enough time to prep everything for new people arriving The balcony from bedroom was the same very untidy had a broken twirly thing on the floor and table and chairs full of cobwebs and not cleaned Itâs such a shame because the price we are paying for a week you would expect it looking on point the inside is so so nice and the area so lovely also

Very high quality and comfortable, an addition of a coffee table would benefit the lounge, overall pretty perfect and if I could I would give 6 stars
