We stayed for 7 nights and I was uncertain about what we would find after seeing other reviews. It was exceptionally clean, the shower wasn’t as described and it seems like brand new carpet has been laid. The property itself was very well stocked in the kitchen and plenty of seating. The property itself can’t be faulted in this regard. There are some negatives which would stop me from rebooking . The first is the size of the “small double”. It was awful. Myself and my partner did not fit well and sleeping was a nightmare. At best it suits one adult or two very small children. The other sleeping area - the sofa bed. Again insanely uncomfortable. There is only one tv which is in the main sitting area so when the person sleeping in there wants to go to bed you can’t go to a room to watch anything. Only one fan provided during a heat wave and those rooms get exceptionally hot ! You can’t leave the window open because it will fill the room with bugs. It’s a beautiful nature area so that is to be expected. The hot tub isn’t treated daily or checked but when I raised an issue with the water smelling bad it was sorted first thing the next morning . Not a complaint as such but it would help to have them checked to ensure the right levels are safe. Overall the property was lovely. The location is about 40 mins from the closest beach which is misleading from the description. There are no takeouts close by or supermarkets closer than around a 20 min drive. For the price we paid I wouldn’t go back as I would prefer to be closer to the beach but for a get away to do nothing it’s the perfect place.

Unfortunately, this stay fell far below our expectations. The location was lovely and our first impressions were positive, but the property has ongoing issues with cleanliness, as mentioned in other reviews.The shower curtain was dirty and unhygienic.There was thick dust behind the bathtub.The blankets in the living room smelled unpleasant and clearly hadn’t been washed.The kitchen had not been thoroughly cleaned.The most serious issue was the poor cleanliness and maintenance of the hot tub. A member of our group contracted hot tub folliculitis, which a medical professional confirmed was caused by incorrect chlorine levels and inadequate cleaning. We stayed for three nights and used the hot tub twice; at no point did anyone come to check or maintain it. By Saturday evening, the water had developed an unusual smell.We have used many hot tubs before and have always had daily checks and high standards of hygiene. This was the first time we’ve ever experienced something like this.We will not be returning and cannot recommend this property.

Lovely cottage, my kids loved the hot tub, and the bug Parc around the corner. the little shop was great for any essentials you forgot and some nice little crafts for the kids. Lovely to be able to borrow books or games . We had a lovely time and have recommended it to some of our friends.
