Everything worked really well and there were enough of the basics that you could fill the dishwasher and still find enough cutlery and plates etc for everyone. Super showers, comfortable beds - will definitely be back. A couple of suggestions which we would have appreciated - an outside tap to hose sandy dogs and children down and a household bucket - for a similar reason. The refuse collection arrived before 9am - worth knowing. We all loved the house!

Fully stocked, bright and airy. Beautiful garden, even in the winter months, a relaxing feel. We had an elderly dog, so the garden was great being flat and secure enough for her not to get out. Close enough to the beach for a walk in the fresh air too. Shops very near by . Lovely village setting. Only one point to mention, the tiles outside the back doors on the pathways are extremely slippery. These could do with being removed and just leave the concrete steps below. Overall I would recommend this property. We enjoyed a wonderful family Christmas. Our age range was from 80 years to 9 years. So perfect with some ground floor bedrooms and bathroom. Plenty of seating for our party of 6 adults for three night and 7 adults plus one child for one night. Thank you
