There were just a few basic items we felt could have been provided - bin bags and dishwasher tablets for example.

Genuinely less than 5 minutes walk to the beach, which is immediately in front of the house and very quiet. The house is incredibly well equipped in every respect. In addition to the usual things there is a fantastic games room with 1/2 sized snooker table and table football. There must be 500 plus DVDs and well over 1000 books scattered around the house. We stayed with our adult children and their husband / wife and one 2 year old all of whom really enjoyed the stay. The house is really big so plenty of space for everyone. We have stayed in many rentals around Europe over the last few years but this was by far the best. Excellent value for money. I would thoroughly recommend.
Emma
The weather wasnât great but it didnât stop us getting in the sea everyday and the house more than catered for the wet days. We walked to both beaches everyday and the children loved exploring the rocks when the tides were out. It was comfortable with all the amenities you could need. There was always something for the four adults and four children to do. We would love to visit again in better weather and make use of what else the house had to offer. A wonderful stay.
