Some effort had obviously been made to spruce the place up and decorate areas, which was good. Still some areas that need attention but in such a big house thatâs understandable. The ground floor bedroomâs bed was not level and not comfortable (the divan base had some wheels on and some off making it lopsided), this was also quite a damp room. All other rooms were fine (although a couple of new mattresses on the top floor wouldnât go amiss). The place was very clean, which is our main priority when staying with little ones. It was also well stocked with kitchen equipment and crockery etc making it easy to self cater. The TVâs in the bedrooms were a little hit and miss. We couldnât get a lot of them to work or tune into anything, but as we spent very little time in our rooms this wasnât a problem. The games room for the children was very well received! In a good part of the house too so they could be supervised but also feel they had their own space. The location was fabulous! Straight onto the beach in less than a minute! Over allâ¦we would come and stay again so that speaks volumes âºï¸

I sent the photo of tray to owner. The check in time set 15:00 so it can give enough time to cleaner to give clean property to next arrival but bedrooms sheets had creases and I am not sure even duvet covers were washed or not. Initially we were not supplied enough bath towels, then after so many calls it arrived next day. I must admit owner was trying to be very helpful to resolve issue but he was not in control apart from making phone calls to cleaner.
