The property is consistently described as clean and tidy, with one review specifically noting it was 'spotlessly clean'. There was a single mention of a stained mattress, but this seems an isolated concern.

The 2 yr old loved the secure garden space and so lovely to have parking too. The cottage is a real home from home and so spacious & comfortable. An easy walk to all amenities - beach, shops, pier, pubs & chippy. A holiday home Iâd definitely recommend and hope to return to.

Clean and modern. Perfect size for us. Well equipped with lots of cooking utensils. We would have appreciated a coffee cafetière. Perhaps there could be one for next year (weâve already booked 2025 stay). It really is a super house. We all enjoyed our stay..

It had everything we needed, and was spotlessly clean. It was so lovely to have three ensuite bathrooms as well.
