Very good

Great location and so close to the beach and shops. Great for large groups as it sleeps 9 comfortably and there is a spare double mattress for an extra 2. There were 9 of us and we had a fantastic weekend.

I have sent emails about the issues with the house
We have stayed here over the years with happy memories. Unfortunately the furniture has deteriorated that one can hardly sit on the lounge suite, the matrasses are uncomfortable. The front door lock must be broken because the key only worked on back door which made it uncomfortable in the rain!The place needs a reno to justify the amount we paid

Was in a perfect position for what we needed and had good space etc. So on the whole the place was good / satisfactory. Was a little untidy though so could have done with a good clean inside beforehand. Grass was long and bins needed emptying also.

It was a good location and a comfortable bed.
However, since the refrigerator is old, plastic storage space inside
It was breaking.
And there was a cockroach in the house.
I was generally satisfied.

Nice large property in a great location, ideally situated near the pub and store, and a few minutes walk from the beach. Lack of wifi may be an issue for some but we enjoyed being 'off the grid' for a while.
