About this property

Also downstairs is a cloakroom, WC and a boot utility room, handy if your adventure trails off on a muddier route. Moving upstairs you’ll find the four well-appointed bedrooms, consisting of two doubles, both with an en-suite shower room, one with pleasant views towards the beach and two twins, all served by a delightful family bathroom. Outside and to the front is a patio area with seating for eight, a sunny spot to enjoy a refreshing drink or perhaps some alfresco dining and a luxurious hot tub at side of the property for you to unwind in.

We think 12 noon check out in the quieter months is fair and a 2pm check in. You were also expecting us to wash and clean everything before leaving â¦.

This beach however is contantly visited by tractors, taking boats onto and off thre beach, and storing the boat 'trollies' for transport! Some holiday makers had to move to make room for the contraptions! However a nearby beach was much quieter, and could vbe accessed on foot, or a short drive. Castell was a comfortable property, and suited our family mix well. The property was well supplied with kitchen equipment, and utensils, we had everything we needed. The only criticism I had wsas the cleaning of thre property, did lack attention to detail. Behind furniture (Sofa) was found to be very dusty with cobwebs. The areas around skirting boards were also not well cleaned. Shower cubicles showed signs of mould and could have been better cleaned. We did have a very good stay, despite the weather, just need to make sure your cleaners do a better job!
