Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers frequently commend the property for its exceptional cleanliness, noting it as spotless and well-maintained, which suggests a very high standard of hygiene.

The location is highly praised for its breathtaking sea views and proximity to the beach, with easy access to local amenities and attractions, making it an ideal setting for a holiday.

Guests describe the accommodation as comfortable, with luxurious touches and a homely feel. However, a few comments suggest that additional seating could enhance the comfort further.

The property is well-equipped with modern facilities and appliances, though there are minor suggestions for improvements such as an upgraded Sky box and clearer instructions for the washer/dryer.

While guests appreciate the well-stocked amenities and the provision of beach accessories, there are no specific mentions of gifts, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness in terms of gifts, and the score is set to null.
