Lovely nearby villages and beaches. Overall superb property for an idilic holiday with family

So we were a day without internet which was very annoying. Insufficient cleaning materials and no soap in bathrooms and very little toilet roll which was corrected by Coast and Country. The property had obviously been used by a hen party because there were silver confetti penises still around! But we were a family party and it prompted some questions.. overall this is a very nice property and we had a happy family time and the hot tub was a great success.
