We had a great holiday. The only thing that was negative was that we had to change a lightbulb and it took us ages to work out how to operate the cooker hob. (Yes, we did read the instructions but they were no real help.) Many thanks!

Very comfortable, well equipped and perfect location. Out of the 3 guests, 2 of us are allergic to pets so we always choose pet free properties. That is why we love Ocean Spray as it is advertised as Pet Free. Sadly this time, as we started to sneeze and suffer with irritation and shortness of breath we noted white pet hair on the sitting room rug. I hoovered the entire place including furniture but basically had to spend as much time as possible out of the apartment. Thankfully the weather was fantastic so this was not too much trouble. We dosed up on antihistamines and my rashes are disappearing now I have been back at home for 48 hours. I presume thoughtless people are bringing pets into the pet free property and the cleaners have not done a 100% job. We cannot ever guarantee that this wonât happen again so we will book in the future at Ocean Spray and cross our fingers.
