Not everyone can afford to eat out every dayThere was no hand towels for the kitchen or bathroom, we had to buy some.couldnât access the side gate. Bed in main bedroom was very comfortable, but bunk beds mattresses were rather hard to sleep on. Shrubs etc out the back need pruning back. Itâs a nice bungalow and close to the beach and a small shop. We enjoyed our stay.

maybe an upgrade is needed - channels are not working on BBC 1,2 & 3 it says its on wales? THATS ok in the daytime as you don't need a tv really - but in winter & the evenings its annoying! Also the gardens are in need of a huge pruning!! plants are beautiful but VERY huge now so could do with some maintenance - could also do with a rug down in the lounge Its a bit slippy for a dog? these are just small observations otherwise id score 5 for all 4 but ive scored 5 overall its lovely just a bit of tlc required i feel but definitely a good stay and property ;-)
