The toilet was on the small side but adequate. Nice shower, you just need to adjust the shower head to an angle which prevents water escaping onto the floor. Sofa was on the firm side but the bed was most comfortable we have had in a holiday home. We spent all day out and about as the weather was superb. An extremely quiet location but so close to the centre of town and a bonus of being able to park right outside. We definitely would like to stay here again next year.

Because we had such amazing weather we didn't need to make use of the huge selection of games and books but there are plenty to choose from. Parking is a little nerve-wracking but we were able to park right outside the property. Neighbours are friendly and the evenings were very peaceful.

The view from the terrace was beautiful, looking towards the sea at sunset, whilst enjoying a cool drink. Only thing I could fault and it's probably minor, is that the sofa was a bit hard, maybe it needs new foam in the cushions.
