Great location, brilliant pub nearby, beach walks very close also. The house overall was a good base but we felt a bit let down by the cleanliness. There was a vase with mouldy old flowers left on the window ledge, the windows both back and front where filthy, highlighted even more by the beautiful sunny days we had! A few of the mugs that we pulled out the cupboard where filthy. You also have a leaky kitchen tap, it was dripping constantly from the moment we arrived. Very annoying when trying to read a book in the living room. Would gave reported but time just got away from us and we wanted to enjoy the trip rather than feeling like we were having to advise for a plumber! The double bed in the first floor en suite room wasn't a very comfortable experience for my parents.... it's noisy; creaking everytime you move! We had a pleasant week, but would not return to this property.

Bedrooms , great size lovely bedding and thank you for providing so many hangers . Sadly the only reason I didnât give full marks was the state of the garden area , could do with a good sweep and wash down, overrun with weeds around the edges , not very inviting to sit in every thing was filthy. The house was great but could do with a deep clean.
