The sun lounge was amazing. The owners should update their photos to show the by-fold windows looking out to the sea. The views were stunning. Kitchen was very well equipped and beds very comfortable.

The house was less good - there were large damp patches and peeling wallpaper in several rooms - beds were soft and uncomfortable - the heating came on at unusual times and the house was cold in the night - it took a long time for the water to run hot

Wonderfully quiet and peaceful location with beautiful sea views and a quick walk down to the beach. Itâs true that some of the furnishings are a bit tired but itâs a holiday home and it was great for us a family of 3 adults. The only suggestion is that as it was winter the bedding wasnât warm enough and it meant we had to use the heating more than we would have done with warmer bed coverings.
