It was perfect for the kids and babies alike with a short walk to the beach although our gym legs were put to use up that hills with kids and prams. Facilities were spot on and whilst we were worried about the noise from the pub it was minimal and only loud on one evening until 11 so no complaints. Some minor points and shouldnât detract from what is a lovely property. - The property was pretty dusty so maybe a word with the cleaner. - The single bed on the upstairs twin room might need replacing. Itâs a bit of a back breaker. Thank you again for letting us use your lovely property and I would certainly recommend it to anyone thinking of staying.

The property was beautifully decorated and set up well with all kitchen items etc. Only minor complaint was that the property had only one hair dryer for the four bedrooms. It would be if there was one for each bedroom.
