I loved the sunlight pouring into the upstairs appartment. It was comfortable and well equipped. In a great village with less than a 5 minute walk to the sea. Friendly with good cafe and nice neighbours.
Pets allowed. No shop for miles! A small welcome pack.. even if it was just a pint of milk would have been appreciated. Place was missing a 'home' feeling. We have stayed in plenty of lets and found a few books or leaflets about the area. It was clean and comfortable, sleeps 3 but only 3 knives, 2 forks! Not even any salt and pepper! 1 and 1/4 loo rolls!! - would not expect to have to buy loo rolls.Rug under dining table is a trip hazard and top step of stairs is sinking and needs attention.
