Great house. Well equipped. Brilliant view. We loved being a short (although steep) walk from the beach, which was beautiful and not busy at all. Would happily stay again.

An amazing house, amazing view, well equipped and clean, however there were numerous issues that disappointed as followsOn arrival there were only 2 hand towels for 4 bathrooms and 6 guests. There were 6 bath sheets, we would have hoped for a hand towel for each guest. Made contact with caretaker who made excuses but no apology and would not do anything about it. Had to go and buy our own.Very useful book to list any defects but issue of lights not working reported end of May still not replaced, one of those lights was above a dark stairwell and to avoid any danger we had to leave light in laundry room on all night.Torn curtains across patio doorsNeither torch worked.The inf booklet advised fire extinguisher was in cupboard in kitchen, searched entire house no sign.Whilst the advert describes the issues of the steep driveway and rough track up from the bottom, this is an understatement. There are about 40 steps on a rough Steep gravel track which has only one working small solar powered light at the top. Due to the beautiful location it is very dark at night.Whilst the information booklet advises parking at the top car park, close to main road and walking down the driveway to the house. This driveway is extremely steep and if wet would be very slippery. I walked up once only to take rubbish to the bins and was so out of breath I had to rest for 5 minutes at the top to recover. We could not recommend this house for anyone elderly, I am 76, or with any mild mobility issue.Such a shame that this lovely property, and our holiday experience, was spoiled by what seems to be a lack of care.
