The property is generally regarded as comfortable, with special mentions of cosy beds and a welcoming atmosphere. Some concerns were raised about the suitability for older guests due to steps and the need for handrails.

Itâs a lovely property but itâs a shame that the fixtures are of a high spec eg kitchen, bathrooms , lots of wardrobe space and wooden floors plus most furnitureâ¦..but that the simple finer points were disappointing. The curtains , for example , were thin and cheap and ours were stained. One downstairs bedroom had no curtains and the vertical blinds were broken- they put a throw over the window at night. The living room had curtain poles but no curtainsâ¦.not very cosy for November. The central heating was great but the en-suite bathroom had damp and needed some TLC. My biggest gripe was the floors⦠I really donât think they had been properly cleanedâ¦only swept. Those of us without slippers had filthy feet/ socks within a couple of hours. Like I said initially, a gorgeous property in a gorgeous locationâ¦.it just needs some simple extra touches to improve the spec and then receive better feedback. We would book againâ¦but only if some of these points were addressed.

As it turned out I was right to be !!!! Worst property we have stayed In this area. Bed obviously not changed, found tweezers under bottom sheet . Roasting tins and oven trays unusable, absolutely filthy . Have photos of these. Nowelcome pack on arrival , not even a pint of milk , every previous property we have recieved such . In bathroom toilet roll holder hanging off wall , white powder all around skirting board why ???? No way was this property worth what was charged for 3nights £647 . Feel very let down . If you check up you will see we have stayed in many of your properties. Wonât be using you again if this is the standard. We are pensioners and had taken family for a few days , donât like throwing money away . Look forward to youâre reply Ann Lytle

The upstairs bathroom was unusable as water would drip through the front downstairs bedroom ceiling. The rear garden is overgrown and untidy, definitely not what the pictures show. The bedding certainly wasn't the cleanest we've ever encountered. Only positive was the beach was just over the road.
