Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of reviews highlight the property's cleanliness, with guests describing it as 'very clean' and 'spotless'. One review mentioned the need for a more thorough clean in the kitchen, but this seems to be an isolated comment.
The location is consistently praised for being close to the beach and village amenities. Guests appreciate the convenience for walks, dining, and local attractions, making it an ideal spot for holidaymakers.
Guests find the apartment comfortable, noting its cosy atmosphere and warm welcome. Some reviews, however, mention issues with chilly rooms, a creaky bed, and thin mattresses, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and good shower being mentioned. However, several reviews point out problems with the oven and heating system, indicating that some maintenance is required.
While guests express appreciation for the property's amenities and the owner's responsiveness, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

Really well set out and really comfortable. Brilliant location, 50 metres from the beach (for great dog walks) and just around the corner from the some nice shops, cafes and pubs. We had a great time and would return.

Very clean, well equipped, amazing amount of games! Our only complaints would be the beds, they are extremely uncomfortable and all 4 of us had minimal sleep. The sofas also are clearly in need of an upgrade, very soft/well used.

The closeness to the beach fir our aging Labrador was perfect he found a new spring in his step which was fabulous to see. The house its self is spacious, warm and cosy and has everything you need you make you comfortable. As with other reviews and from staying at the property previously, I really think it's time to purchase a new oven, although there are instructions I found them difficult to translate to the actual dials on the oven. The 1st night after a few changes on the dials we got the oven working fine, 2nd night I just couldn't get the right combination and it ran cold for a long time until I twiddle a bit more. That is my only complaint once again we had a great stay and will visit again in the not too distant future. Mrs A. Macdonald
