Very comfortable property in an ideal location but the house and garden needs to be better maintained and given more attention to cleanliness

Its proximity to the sea and town were an added bonus as well as the costal path. A trivial point maybe, but the plug in the en suite needs attention and a few light bulbs need replacing. All in all we have no complaints and enjoyed our holiday.
