We had difficulty with the Video player and TV, it needs instructions for the older less tech minded. But overall the property was very good. I straightend the bungalow key as it was bent and cleaned the patio door runner to make it easier to open. If I had my tool kit with me I would have made a few minor repairs. We did have a wonderful holiday. We will book with you again for next year.

Shower needed cleaning when we arrived. Plates in the cupboards still have left over food on them. No instructions for the bins, we put them out to match the neighbours but they didnât get emptied. Bedding very creased (I iron mine at home) and most things smelt dirty. On the plus side lots of hot water, garden was secure and location was good. We have stayed in this area before and this bungalow was âdingyâ and under parr - needs a thorough clean and some money spent on it. The fridge was too small, the cooker rusty and dirty. It wasnât the most expensive property but a level of cleanliness is expected
