The location was wonderful and it was great to have a pet friendly option. The overall experience would have been better with some small tweeks. The house needs a good clean, especially cornices and window jambs as there was dirt and cobwebs and dust. Whisjt the kitchen was well stocked there were no sharp knives and no dishwashing liquid which we had to buy along with toilet deodoriser. A little more attention to these things would make the property more presentable and appealing. Overall vibe was great and it had so much more potential!
The property was perfect for what we needed. It was clean and tidy and we all had a good time away. Dealing with the owner was a breeze. Wasnt expecting the ensuite to main bedroom to be locked out of use, for our large group, that was tricky, so that is my only critique but otherwise would def recommend. Thanks.

Hi Rita . Thanks for the review but that locked door is not an ensuite it is a storage cupboard for our cleaner. As explained on the website it is a one bathroom house. But teally glad you enjoyed your stay .
Thank you for a great weekend away. We had a great time. The house was tidy and well equiped. The kids loved the shed with all the activities available and the short walk to the beach was perfect distance for the kids!
