  We found Corum lodge to be comfortable and clean.

  The bed was really comfy. It's in a fantastic location, with parking and a garden for our pooch being a real bonus. A welcome pack on arrival was a nice touch. However, there were some issues which meant that I couldn't give the property 5 stars. The lodge is compact, which means you have to navigate corners and doorways with care. This being the case the door handles are way too large and stick out too far. I have come home covered in bruises! The double quilt supplied was too heavy for the summer. We had to sleep with only a sheet on us, but in the early hours it was very cold without a blanket. A summer duvet is needed for the hotter months. There is an internal step between the livingroom and the bedroom. This should be highlighted in the accommodation description. Our elderly dog couldn't navigate the step which meant we were constantly having to lift him up and down it. There is a washing machine at the property, which I presumed would have a drying function (it doesn't). The airer that was provided was flimsy and too small. A bigger airer that is stable enough to put outside would have meant a lot less hassle. There was no fan at the property. Luckily I took my own fan, otherwise it would have been way too hot to sleep without it. Apart from these issues we really enjoyed our stay. I would recommend Corum lodge as it is perfect for a couples get away.

  The spacious apartment is just a few steps from the beach and offers a well-equipped kitchen. It’s perfect for those who enjoy cooking their own meals. The bright windows facing the sea provide sunshine during breakfast (weather permitting). During peak season, it can be quite lively outside the apartment, even late at night. The bedroom is at the back, but unfortunately, you can hear a ventilation system when the window is open. Light sleepers might find this disturbing. We kept the bedroom window closed at night and ventilated through the living room. The apartment is ideally located for long walks, with everything you need within walking distance. You can enjoy the smart TV in the living room or the smaller TV in the bedroom. The bathroom is spacious and well-equipped with both a shower and a bathtub. Overall, the apartment is in good condition, though you can see signs of wear from previous guests. The washer-dryer and dishwasher are very convenient, although the dishwasher’s drying function was broken during our stay and couldn’t be fixed. It still washed well, and drying by hand wasn’t a big issue. We would love to come back.

  This was our second stay this year at this quality apartment. It’s well equipped, ideally situated with excellent views of the beach, close to all amenities and has permit car parking. What’s not to like? Well.......there is some noise from the patrons outside the restaurant downstairs and at weekends live music in the evenings, which we could hear, but it was acceptable. However on the last weekend of our stay (11th and 12th October) it moved into full nightclub mode including some kind of “boombox” sound system obviously located just below the floor of the apartment. From around 8:30 to 11:30 the noise and vibration was tremendous, shaking the floor and windows. When it finally subsided the sounds of clearing up continued into the early hours. Not the best night’s sleep prior to having to vacate the apartment by 9:00am Sunday morning. I’m afraid, this time, we will not be back, unless something is done about the nightclub noise.

  We had a number of problems throughout our holiday. The front door keys were very difficult to remove from the lock, so we had to use the back door to enter and exit the property. On arrival, the internet was not working. The remote controls to the upstairs tv and set top box did not work. We were unable to access Netflix and Disney+ on the tv. The internal bathroom door handle detached from the door, leaving one of our party trapped inside. The bathroom door would only open partially, because the floor was stopping it. We had no hot water on the final three days of our holiday. This was fixed once, but was not working the next day. We had to phone about these problems on 5 of our 8 days in the property. We think it unlikely that you will include our review on the website, but we would appreciate it if you would ask the owners to consider a partial rental refund to compensate for the problems arising.

  From start to finish the information and ease of booking through the website was without fault. Communication was excellent, plenty of emails and messages as the holiday got closer with relevant and detailed information provided. The property was excellent, clean, well equipped and the decor was well thought out. We were very fortunate with parking outside the cottage and the car did not move till we left. Thanks to honest info sharing from the get go we knew parking may have been slightly away from the property. This is well documented so shouldn't come as a surprise. Welcome pack provided by the owners include a reliable taxi driver called Gin who was very reliable and friendly. Great week, look forward to next year.
