The property is generally described as very clean and of a high standard, with one report of an ant infestation that affected the cleanliness during a hot period.
The location is highly regarded for being close to beaches, local shops, and eateries, with everything needed within walking distance and other attractions a short drive away.
The property is considered spacious and well-equipped, contributing to guest comfort. However, one review suggests the furniture and decor could be refreshed for enhanced comfort.

Excellent bungalow in a prime position in the village. Roomy and comfortable and that's why we've stayed there on multiple occassions !

Great laid out bungalow in a great location. However, decor and furniture in desperate need of washing/replacing. New flooring required but overall a lovely retreat in a great location that just needs a bit of love, care and attention.

Good location and good size bungalow. Well equipped for 8 people. Stayed for 1 week (27th July 2024) during hot spell & for 5 days had big problems with flying ants in 2 bedrooms & hallway that caused issues. Holiday Cottages reacted and tried to control infestation with additional traps ( already several traps in cottage) without success and wanted to spread powder internally in rooms. We were informed this would not be safe for children so declined this procedure. The ants caused us major disruption in evening as they were on beds, clothing & coming up through carpets from under the floor boards. Would not stay in property again
