The house is large, warm, spacious and comfortable with 3 toilets! It is clean and modern with a lovely large living room with comfortable sofas and armchairs. The separate dinning room over looks the garden. The nearness of the town and surrounding towns with fabulous wide and long stretches of sandy beaches was ideal. We will definitely return.

We had a couple of issues while staying there . Problem setting tv up in main bedroom couldn't understand why that had to be done , why not just switch on and go . Had to get caretaker to come and set it up for us which we did appreciated . Then water leaking in light in kitchen from main bedroom ensuite shower , which apparently had happened before . Needless to say we did have a good holiday .
