The blinds did look shabby and several elements in almost all room were broken. The Master Bedroom en-suite (tiny) sink was blocked. In the kitchen the washing machine contained water and left over washing, also blocked. The oven was dirty and the hoover was completely full with dust. The overall state of the interior was unclean. The change-over cleaning crew should do a better job. The heating was not operating at first, it turned out the thermostat was situated in the Master Bedroom and after consultation with contact the heating problem was solved (Heating instructions have been amended with the modified procedure). It is such a shame that such a wonderful house is so unloved. It should be addressed at least that, when mentioning the apartment sleeps four, it should be rephrased as: sleeps two adults and two minors/children. The bunk-beds leave no room for sitting up straight and was regarded as most uncomfortable by our adult friend. Local information "package" was quite outdated, one would expect an updated information folder like we did find in almost every Sykes holiday let we did use before. Much room for improvement.

I feel that the description was inaccurate. The walk to the beach was far longer than three minutes and was down a very steep hill. The general overall appearance of the flat and general cleaning was a poor standard. There was a lot of hair on the carpets which were dirty. I am guessing from a dog the oven was dirty and generally the flat is in need of an update. The sofas are broken and very uncomfortable. The blinds in all the rooms are broken. Quite disappointed for a weeks holiday.

It's spacious and pretty clean. If you look really closely you'll probably find it's got a few cobwebs etc but its certainly not filthy as some have made out. The living room sofas aren't that comfortable but they're OK. The kitchen is fine and there is a small welcome pack that you get which is helpful. There is no WiFi znd yiu cant get a reception so it's worth taking a book to read. There is WiFi in the pub, though. Location is great, 2 minute walk to the complex's pub and leisure centre. The pub has free WiFi. The food is ok. The leisure centre's pool is small and you sometimes have to wait to get in. The site is really nice and you can walk to a pretty secluded beach in 10 minutes. I'd stay here again.
