loved the view of the beach and sea from the lounge, where we ate most our meals.

A couple of things were however worthy of note. 1. Uphill hairpin bend turning onto driveway is difficult to negotiate, especially when wet. This could cause a car to skid or get stuck. 2. The large window in the lounge giving panoramic views across the bay has a failed double glazing unit and has condensation inside it which impairs the view.

Iâm missing the view already. I really hope the house is available next year so we can rebook. Some of the house needs modernising but it didnât spoil the holiday.
