We used the clothes rack to keep our towels as not much room to keep and dry them in the bathroom A hook on the downstairs bedroom door might help! Beautifully warm but no details on heating.. as it turned out we didnât need to know! We struggled with the oven as it kept going off.. maybe I wasnât using it properly. A lovely family home! Thank you..

It is ideally situated in the village for shops and beaches. Plenty of parking space and nice enclosed garden for the dog. However, it could now do with a bit of an upgrade and a good clean. This did not spoil what was a lovely week, the star being the weather. Not sure if I will be returning to Rock though in the future. Too much building of huge houses and the forthcoming loss of the newsagents has made me realise that our best holidays are behind us.

Thought they might have taken it on board - they havenât. They clearly arenât interested in spending any money on it so are happy for it to deteriorate further. Lovely location, just a shame that the property isnât better looked after.
