The house's charm and the scenic views it offers have contributed to memorable stays, with many expressing a desire to return.
Most guests found the house beautiful and well-equipped, suggesting good cleanliness overall. However, a few mentioned wear and tear, and one noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance, such as moth-eaten carpets and a cluttered environment, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is consistently lauded for its beauty and proximity to the beach and coastal paths. Guests appreciate the stunning views and the easy access to outdoor activities, making it an ideal spot for nature lovers and families.
The house is frequently described as comfortable and homely, with plenty of space for large groups and families. The presence of a swimming pool and games room adds to the comfort. Some guests mentioned the house being cold at times, but this was mitigated by lighting the fire.
Facilities like the swimming pool, games room, and large kitchen table are highlights for guests. However, some have reported maintenance issues such as broken bathroom facilities and non-working lights in the sauna, which suggests room for improvement in this category.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

This house is ‘faded elegance’ but is charming. The setting is outstanding with fabulous views and easy access to stunning beaches. The pool was a huge success with all 3 generations of family. If you want somewhere really ‘smart’ this isn’t for you, but if you are active and in a large group this place ticks lots of boxes.

Super house for our family get-together (age range 3 to 70) plenty of space for eveyone, swimming pool, games, books and spectacular views. The beach walks from the house were great, dogs were worn out!! Everyone had a fantastic time!

Absolutely wonderful holiday home for our family of 14. There was so much for everyone to do in the house so didn’t have to worry about weather. Wonderful gardens and views, and so many lovely walks and places to visit. We would love to come again!!
