    love it every time…

    The house was well maintained and the perfect space & location for a multi-generational family holiday. We had issues with a blocked basin (master bedroom) & shower in the annexe but these were quickly & efficiently sorted. I did also ask for a loo brush for the master bathroom & spare lightbulbs but none appeared. However the garden, driveway, boules court all looked neglected/scruffy which was disappointing. The grass needed cutting, boules court covered in weeds & was unuseable, & the ‘babbling brook’ at the bottom of the garden was the opposite of that description.

    The house was beautiful, so well designed and comfortable. The garden was gorgeous with different areas to sit, plenty of space for the kids to play, and lovely planting. It is so easy to get to the beautiful beaches nearby. We were a large group but there was plenty of space for everyone. Everyone wanted to come back!
