Comfort receives mixed reviews. While bedding is described as lovely, some guests find the mattresses uncomfortable. The property is spacious, but some furnishings and the single shower's condition detract from the overall comfort.
Facilities are appreciated, like the games room and well-equipped kitchen, but guests note the need for updates and additional items. Maintenance issues are mentioned, such as the need for a new shower and minor repairs.

Leon
loved the view of the beach and sea from the lounge, where we ate most our meals.

A couple of things were however worthy of note. 1. Uphill hairpin bend turning onto driveway is difficult to negotiate, especially when wet. This could cause a car to skid or get stuck. 2. The large window in the lounge giving panoramic views across the bay has a failed double glazing unit and has condensation inside it which impairs the view.

Iâm missing the view already. I really hope the house is available next year so we can rebook. Some of the house needs modernising but it didnât spoil the holiday.
