Some cutlery items were dirty. In the bedroom, drawers were dirty, the one next to my bed had lots black hairs it, I had clean it before I could put anything in it. The bathrooms however were very clean although the shared one was a little tired in places. The location was good, close to beach access and shops , the property had a balcony but it was in very close proximity to a neighbouring cabin so much so that you could see in to their windows, but it was nice to sit out when the weather permitted. I have stayed in other properties at the Bay and feel that there are others that are better value for money.
