Everything was thought of and the bathrooms and bedrooms were set up perfectly for a large family group. The location was also great, close enough to the centre and the beach without being too noisy. Would definitely stay here again!

4 of us tried the key. Phoned both numbers given. 1st one left an answerphone message. 2nd one told us to send an email. No reply from 1st .. finally opened the door which actually needed a jolly good clean. Table in dining room is amazing except it makes lots noise. Quite amusing. Radiators upstairs need bleeding. Coat hooks keep falling off. Having said all that the house is absolutely great. Like a TARDIS so many rooms. Good quality all over. Furniture beds showers all great. Kitchen well equipped. Would recommend. Just be nice if the owners were contactable.
