Need a better range of saucepans. Some childrenâs cutlery. Would be nice to have had a tumble dryer. Can guests use the ev charger as there wasnât much information in book and we own an electric car?

Great amount of space for all the family. The bedrooms are all amazing and so are the bathrooms. Loved the pool table, arcade games and snug, not to mention the hot tub!! Itâs about a 10 minute downhill walk to town, 15-20 minute walk to the harbour which we loved with its bars, bistro restaurants and shops. Overall a great holiday and would 100% recommend. A special mention to Teresa who got the place ready early for us

All the bedrooms were spacious and the ensuite facilities were great. The games room was brilliant and used by all the younger members of the group, even the 5 year old played on the PacMan. The hot tub was also used by the younger members (21 to 26 yrs). There was also plenty of seating in the lounge for all of the group unlike some places we have stayed in. Having a double oven also made life easier when cooking. Although as has been said before a few larger pots would be welcome. Outside space was very good, 5yr old loved the slide! Only a few niggles. Again as mentioned before, the slats on the lower ground floor bed kept popping out and trying to put these back in whilst holding up a heavy mattress was quite hard for me being 69 yrs old! Also the curtain rail in the top floor back bedroom has a lot of fixings missing so it kept coming down. Would also benefit from an outside washing line. All in all a great place to stay and would not hesitate to recommend. Loved it!!
