We had a lovely holiday. The house was lovely and the location was excellent, being only an easy 5 minute walk from the beach and town (and the children loved walking through the field with the sheep to get there). A washing machine would be really useful (and more pegs for the washing line), although we were aware there wasn't one before we got there, and there are laundry facilities in the town. A 5th chair outside would have been good so that we could all sit and eat outside together. It would also be useful to have a visitors book, so that other guests can leave behind recommendations and tips for future guests.
