The carpets and rugs were very stained. Tea towels were disgusting and could do with replacing. Outside paving is broken and damaged, not safe for children or elderly adults. One bedroom really small, not big enough to call a bedroom as no storage or space.

The double bed downstairs needs a new mattress as very lumpy and uncomfortable. A few annoying things, need a bulb in a bedside lamp and tv remote batteries. Overall we found the house clean and well equipped in the kitchen. A quiet location with lovely views.

The house is a great size and nice garden and you can see the sea!! The house was a little dusty and some of the furniture had seen better days and some of the rugs could do with being replaced or a deep clean. The hoover also needs updating to one which works. But we had a lovely holiday and would recommend this property
