The property is well-equipped with modern conveniences and TVs in each room. However, some guests noted the need for more cutlery, larger towels, and a few more toilet rolls upon arrival.

The house is clean, warm and well equipped for a large family get together and situated right in the town near all shops and facilities and a short walk to the beach.

. However, it is the small things that prevents it from being luxury, as it calls itself. The pots and pans are not in a good state and need to be repalced. Two of the kitchen windows are really quite dirty where the birds have been using it as target practice and we could not locate a single booklet regarding any of the electrical appliances which is normal for other properties. Minor things perhaps, but It is those details that prevent it being seen as luxury and they are easily fixed.

Lucy was very helpful in explaining that one of the showers took 2-5 mins for the water to come through but when it did , it was fabulous! Perhaps a note in that bathroom explaining the shower , might be a help. Secondly, there was no explanation in the welcome book about which were the days for each bin. All in all â¦.a fabulous house. Would we stay there again?â¦. YES
