    Firstly,there was wet towels still in the washing from previous guests which I had to hang up to dry ( tried the dryer 3 times on 60minutes but still soaking wet!). This was not a good start. We found half eaten food in the freezer (ice cream and chips). It was told to us in the instruction manual that we were given dishwasher tablets,tea,coffee etc to start us off,this was non existent. We also read in the manual about previous complaints,the owners clearly dont seem to take constructive criticism very well. The property could have been cleaner as we found food fragments on the kitchen cupboards and dishwasher,hair in the shower, marks and dust all over the tv. The quality of the beds were not good as they were very uncomfortable. In the master bedroom,it wasn't a double bed,it was two singles pushed together which caused an issue. We swapped with our daughters to suit us all better but was disappointed. General factilies were good (apart from the dryer) with the house being very well equipped. Garden was lovely and we really enjoyed the hot tub after having busy days out. Location was also gorgeous and it was perfect being so close to beaches,shops etc. Overall good but lots of room for improvement. Definitely needs a bit more cleaning and care taken and perhaps something to welcome guests on arrival.

    We particularly enjoyed the art works all around the home and of course the hot tub! The property is in a great location for exploring the local area and we have had a super time.

    We would definitely recommend.
