The location is lovely and we had some really nice sunsets whilst there. The information about the track being covered by high tides was very comprehensive and we worked round it. The table tennis table in the garage provided good entertainment! Highly recommended,

The living room furniture was grubby,smelly and in need of replacement. The WI-FI had very poor coverage and due to us having 2 small children we needed the WI-FI for monitors, hence family had to stay with the children when they went to slept. The cooker was inadequate for 12 people, as was the washer/dryer, which did not wash anything properly and then nuked it, leaving clothes shrunken. The garage/play room was also very dirty and unusable due to being full of rubbish. The bathrooms were dirty and the shower seals were filthy/mouldy. The cottage was sold to me as it was supposed to be beach front, never would I class it as beachfront. The position of the cottage was remote, which we were aware of but the condition of the access road meant that 3 cars had punctures during our stay. Very, very disappointed and not as described or as pictures on website
