We arrived there late Saturday,and she said that nothing could be done till Monday! Fortunately we spent time on Sunday morning and managed to tune it in. However this happened again a few days later. Iâd suggest a new TV, new bedding, and new towels! Very dated decor, needs a major upgrade !!! Small, uncomfortable bed, and thin towels like sandpaper!!! Wouldnât recommend to anyone!!! Have had a lot better for the same price!!!!

We had another wonderful holiday. The location is breathtaking and we never tire of the view. There are lovely walks from the property, including improved access to the beach. The property is well equipped and comfortable and provided everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. Good weather was a bonus. As evidence of our recommendation we have booked again for 2025!

After I had unpacked on my arrival a lady came to check on me to see if the chalet was okay and had brought some tea bags milk and biscuits which I thought was very kind of her. I have stayed on this site before in an other chalet on a number of occasions the last being May 2021. This is by far the best experience and I hope to return this year . The chalet has a very good view and site was very peaceful. I hope to rent this chalet again.
