Good location and spacious. Not clean at all, quite disappointing. The house and garden and outdoor furniture was not clean at all, the house was cluttered and the patio was filthy where we had to take an hour to clean everything. There is also only 1 shower in 5 bed house, not ideal when hosting a large group of people.

Recently had a family holiday and stayed at Flamingo, our age ranged from 3 to 60. 8 guests and only 1 shower was less than ideal and hard to work around. Description of house was far from true, it was like someone has been to a jumble sale with all mix match furniture. 2 sofas in the living room both uncomfortable and tatty with blankets thrown over them, dining table chairs all uncomfortable and too low height for the table. Front garden and back garden a complete mess and looks like a dumping zone including an elderly persons shower chair sitting there. Brambles and weeds taking over everywhere, very unkept. 3 year old opened a cupboard near dining room and found 3 tubs of out of date chewing gum, luckily an adult spotted this and intervened. Description stated smart tv in lounge, this was not a smart tv. All decor very scabby and messy, took us 24 hour to even find “third toilet” , didn’t even have a bathroom sink to wash your hands after.
