Mr Wilton
Overall this property is very good, a few minir things like water pressure on shower and garden is a bit small but they are only minor issues and did not spoil our holiday. We had a great time and Gary was helpful at the start, early check in, problem with Wi-Fi all sorted and a nice basket of goods to welcome us .

Lovely house and helpful owner. House had everything we needed. Good location with a pleasant walk through the village to the cove and near to the pub. Road is quite busy and parking was a little tricky some days. Would happily recommend to others
