My husband is 2 metres tall and heavy too. Therefore, the double bed was tricky as it has a footboard and didnt feel very sturdy ... possibly some more slats under the mattress needed for feeling comfortable and secure. There is a problem with damp in the bungaow which was notoceable as soon as we entered ... a damp smell which we managed by opening doors and windows for a while. It was also clear from the fact that after only a few hours the hand towel in the loo was actually wet and stayed that way even after we went out for the day. In addition the furthest bedroom is v damp and therefore colder so we had to use the heater all night to male it ok to sleep in. The rest of the house was warm enough without heaters. Maybe whole house needs more ventilation esp in that corner and preferably external insulation. DVD selection was excellent and we all enjoyed the place. The floors made it easy to clean etc. It might be nice to leave some basics like salt and pepper and cooking oil esp as we were only there a couple of nights we didnt have those things with us. Great that washing up liquid and sponges were left. We werent sure if the tablets left were for a dishwasher (there was no dishwasher) or for the washing machine which we didnt need anyway. Swimming pool is nice but a bit clunky in the way it has to be booked in advance online. Local walks are lovely but so frustrating that there is no pedestrian access out of the Holiday park ... this males it quite dangerous for people walking. Something that could be taken up with local council and tourist board. Generally a lovely place except for the damp feeling. Thank you.

The first thing I noticed is that was left an empty bottle of soap and behind the beds full of dust. The water pressure was very low in the shower. There should be signs on parking bays at least 1 cottage to have a parking space. As we often couldn't find a place near our cottage. But anyway we had a lovely holiday.
