Jonathan
Very well equipped especially the kitchen with nice options of glasses and tableware. All bedrooms were very comfortable and suited our needs. It was great to have the first floor living room with amazing views out towards the sea. The only minor criticism would be that the floors are due a better clean, as there is a lot of dust buildup under beds and sofas, which we probably wouldnât have noticed, but with small children dropping toys etc, we noticed this quite a lot. We think the first floor lounge could do with a deep clean on the floor. Also we couldnât find a folder with the leaving instructions on and the WiFi password was not easy to find but was on a shelf in the kitchen. All in all we would definitely stay here again, as itâs a lovely property.
