Lovely place and spot to holiday. Information on what bins are what, tides, routes to walk for beach, cafe etc would be very helpful!Did smell a bit damp. For us personally stairs too steep and without proper rails were a major problem as elderly and needing frequent night visits to downstairs bathroom !For a family, ideal

We loved our stay here but unfortunately found the place very unclean. The property had a basic clean prior to our arrival.We found food stains on the crockery and cutlery. The kitchen sides and table were very dirty and full of food. The cooker was disgusting inside.There is no where to store your clothes in either bedroom.The hoover is unsafe and has wires showing, the owners were aware of this as it has been taped up with electrical tape.The property was very peaceful and just a short walk to the beach. This property needs some updating and love. We would book again and hope to find it in a better condition next time.

After reading some of the reviews WE tried to cancel this accommodation to go somewhere else.BUT WE DIDN’TThe property didn't smell of dogs either wet or otherwise.The carpets are very clean one of the sofas had a couple of stains on it but where stains NOT Dirt as previously suggested. (fair ware and tear for a rental property)The main bed has a Firm mattress on it and in an excellent condition.Overall it's a very clean well presented property in a loverly location.There are lots of games for children to do and play with inside the property.And an enclosed garden for our 2 dogs to play in.My wife and I both agree we will be back along with our two german shepherds.And a great thank-you to the locals who made us feel so welcome
