  The house is in a fantastic location and is very spacious with loads of light, which is lovely.

  The only thing that lets it down, as some other visitors have also commented on, is the quality of the decor. There are paint splashes on the floors/carpets in pretty much every room, the curtains are very thin and don’t fit the windows properly in some rooms, there are gaps in carpet that have been patched with completely different pieces of carpet or mats in the master bedroom, holes in the wall panels in the bathroom and badly hung cabinet doors in the kitchen which prevents some doors from fully closing. There was also a really fusty smell in the living room - I think it came from the blankets and cushions. These are all fairly minor things, but combined, they let the property down as they make it feel a bit cheaply done. When you pay almost £1000 for one week, this is disappointing. Also, there were absolutely no toiletries provided - no hand soap in the bathroom, no washing up liquid in for kitchen and no laundry detergent in the utility room - and no hand towel in the bathroom either. Again minor inconveniences but providing these for visitors would make a huge difference to first impressions and comfort of the stay. Having said all this, the property and garden are large, the facilities were all in good working order, the Wi-Fi was fast and the living area is very comfortable, so the major points are all fine. If the feedback from ourselves and other visitors was taken on board and addressed by the owners and cleaners, then this would make a huge difference and go some way to justifying the price that is being charged.

  Very spacious, well equipped but corners cut which was a shame.

  There is a splendid cooker, the pans were not usable. Where the non-stick coating had been scraped off they had all rusted. So The only way to cook was with frying pans, baking sheets, or to use the microwave oven. New pans don't cost much! Spotless kitchen. The only bed we used was in need of renewal because it was so old. We loved the privacy and the location, the directions were essential and no parking problems because of an ample private drive. An attempt had been made to put down artificial grass but it was a disaster. I'm sure weed -resistant membrane and wood chippings would look better. On the plus, it was really warm and well-ventilated. The amount of light was wonderful - big windows in every room. The welcome pack was also very kind. Nice front garden (there was a pretty border and mixed shrubs) but a bodged, unfinished structure (seating area?) and collection of overflowing bins didn't give the best first impressions. On the morning of our stay we received a call to say a wardrobe door had come off and it was at the top of the list to be replaced, this reflected how there was care about the interior and the comfort it offered visitors. Strange details let it down (the missing carpet at the side of the bed, two carpet squares being laid down to fill the gap). We had a good stay, we really did but were niggled by the details mentioned.

  Having read some of the reviews I was not sure whether or not to book this property but as it was a late booking took a chance and booked dates which were available in September.

  The bungalow is very spacious and I really couldn't see why so many negative reviews has been received. There is parking for more than one car, the garden is secure (a must for my dog) and the bungalow is well equipped and had everything we needed. Yes there are a few paint spots on the floor but that did not detract from our holiday. The beach is about half a mile away and dogs are allowed on some parts of it, the parking is free and it was mostly deserted. There is a coffee shop and swings next to the beach. The beds were clean and comfortable and the bedrooms were spacious. The kitchen and bathroom are relatively new and both served their function. There was plenty of hot water and we had no problems with the shower. There are two shops very close to the property so no need to drive to a supermarket. There is also a chip shop and Chinese takeaway just down the road. My only criticism would be that there were no pillow protectors on the beds and there seemed to be a problem with which bin to put out meaning they hadn't been emptied. There are plenty of places to visit nearby so we didn't have to travel far. Compared with other holiday properties it was also very good value as it is a lot cheaper. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay there again

  This is a lovely cottage in a very quiet location (rush hour seemed to be a couple of sheep walking past in the morning), and a great location for visiting other areas.

  Nothing is too far away. The cottage is fully equipped with all the basics you might need and more! We didn't use the open fire as there was only a couple of logs provided and we couldn't find anywhere easily to buy more while we were out but the cottage is nice and warm from the electric heating anyway, especially if you close the lounge door while you're relaxing in the evening. The bathroom is quite small and it's a bit tight to manoeuvre so may not be suited to anyone with mobility issues, but it is clean and nicely maintained. It was the perfect place for a break for two adults. I'm not sure it would be very well suited for small children as the stairs are quite tricky and the bathroom is downstairs but I'm sure older children would manage just fine. We would happily book this cottage again.

  This was a great base location with a beautiful setting.

  The bungalow was very spacious with fantastic views. We would have given 5 stars but were let down by the 3rd bedroom having no curtains up making it feel uncomfortable to sleep in, even though the back garden was private every bedroom should have nice black out curtains up. There were 3 windows in the living room with one window having no curtains up, which is nice during the day for the lovely views but no blinds up at the kitchen window either. Previous reviews mention paint splashes everywhere, whoever decorated this lovely bungalow obviously didn't use dust sheets or give it a second coat of paint. We would go back if we knew the owners had dealt with obvious problems. It was disappointing to see as it really is beautiful and somewhere anyone would love to live in.
