However, it was not clean. My son and and his girlfriend hoovered before we arrived so that we wouldn't be disappointed, but it needs a thorough clean. There were dirty dishes in the cupboards - presumably the dishwasher hadn't quite cleaned them and they had been removed in bulk and not checked. We couldn't use the shower in the family bathroom because it was leaking through the doorframe in the kitchen. The maintenance man came to have a look the next day after I had let the owner know and I showed him where it was leaking - he said that had been reported 6 months ago, but he hadn't found anything and it hadn't been reported since so it must be something that is moving. He also said that he couldn't fix the problem while we were there as the job was too big. The shower tray in the downstairs bathroom is not on a firm base and dips when you stand in it. I am sorry to give this review because the owner responded to questions appropriately and arranged for the maintenance man to come etc, but the standard of cleanliness and upkeep of the house, I feel, is not up to standard.

We were a three generational group. There was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the stay. The house was very comfortable with a good range of spaces, all a good size. I particularly appreciated the dishwasher. And other members of the group enjoyed the hot tub. The house was well situated for visits to local beaches and places of interest. We would definitely consider booking it again for a similar holiday.

. good location close to Church Bay which was is a lovely sandy cove that the kids loved. House was comfortable, spacious and clean .. The kitchen is well equipped to cook large family meals however a suggestion is that the addition of a teapot, cafeteria and air-fryer would be helpful for breakfast :) Hot Tub, Garden and Bar area were great to relax in the evenings. We would love to stay again and will look at booking for next year Thank you
