However, we did have initial problems as the duvets in the bedrooms are duck feathers, and one of us has an allergy to feathers. We rang Sykes and after some resistance we were sent, admittedly after their hours, a synthetic duvet. Unfortunately it was for a double bed, not a king size, so we had to ask Sykes again. We were given a flat refusal for a king size synthetic duvet and only after complaining were we sent a large flat sheet. This, combined with the smaller duvet and a throw cover enabled us to sleep relatively comfortably. During our stay we were a bit concerned with the cleanliness in one or two places. One bed cover had dirty marks on it and a toilet brush was badly soiled with excrement. We did our best to keep the apartment clean, but had been left virtually nothing in the way of cleaning fluids. It is also mentionable that the staircase up to the first floor had large amounts of sandy soil on it throughout our stay. We can forward photos if needed. This all sounds as though we did not enjoy our stay, which is not the case. The apartment is beautifully situated and well equipped. We just think that you should be aware of these things.

Extremely clean, comfortable and welcoming. We did have a little plumbing problem, which was resolved with no fuss with the help of coast & country staff and the property owner. Small observationâ¦..Having the sofa facing the window instead of sitting with back against the widow would certainly allow guests to better enjoy that beautiful view without having to strain your neck to look. Iâm sure the furniture could be rearranged as such. There is a lovely outdoor pool, Iâm sure the apartment owners pay a hefty service charges for maintenance of the grounds etc. itâs a real shame the pool had not been cleaned, ( looked like for some time). I appreciate weather, near to beach etc, such things as dead flies etc cannot be helped, but lots of sludge/ sand in the pool, the cleanliness of pool lets the quality of stay down. We have not let this put us off, we have already booked again for another stay. A usable pool would have been the icing on the cake though!
