The open plan kitchen/dining/living space is great for four. The two bedrooms are very small though the beds themselves are very comfortable. A couple of baking trays in the kitchen would be good. The lack of a lock on the bathroom door was a bit odd. Although we didn't use it, the laundry room is a great addition with a freezer and stack of books. A very safe location for those with little ones to play - the other three properties had little ones who all played together in the courtyard for hours. Very easy walk to the supermarket and the funfair and town beaches. Very quiet spot.
