The only problem we had was on arrival one of our outdoor bins was full and the second bin was part filled. On leaving the property the neighbour next door allowed us to put some of our waste in his bin , because as he said the seagulls rip any black bags open and start emptying them of waste.

The house was clean, spacious and comfortable. It would've been helpful to have a washing machine though. Instructions were simple and comprehensive. It was great value for money and we would definitely stay again.
