Shell Shack

Great place. Cleaning sub optimal. Had to clean glasses and cutlery plus the holder as they were filthy. Bin was mouldy with food scraps. The couch was peeling with pieces falling on the floor But overall comfortable.

Enjoyable and relaxing stay.

The house was well presented and adequate. However, we found lots of food and sweet wrappers under the lounge. Not pleasant. TV, internet and phone reception hit and miss (or none at all). The DVD player didn’t work, not sure why. So, with no modern day distractions we had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay.
