Excellent location, large property with extensive grounds. With good parking.
Clean overall but feels tired and dated (appears things are in progress?) especially in the kitchen, with Mismatched crockery and glasses, blunt knives (a bit dangerous when cutting). I know that Covid has stopped a lot of things but the lack of basic things like salt & pepper is frustrating.
No plastic items for outside use, always needed especially if children around. The seating outside is extensive but is very uncomfortable after a while so needs cushions.
The main beds are ok but the single beds are ready for new good quality mattresses along with pillows and linens. Towels were small and thin and smelt of chemicals.
This is a good value for money property that would benefit from a few tweaks. You will not go wrong staying here . The owner was lovely and very helpful. I hope you will not be offended by this review.

Perfect for a large family, in a quite location
As advertised, plenty of room for the whole family, large kitchen and dining room. Plenty of parking space. The beds were really comfortable. Far enough away from town, which is what we wanted, lots of peace and quiet. The walking trail at the front of the property leads to the beach. I Would book this location again, no problems.
