I tried to fix the soap dish in the bathroom â it has a snap on it though, so I slid it up; the snap was already there. Besides that, and the fact that I never had a text or call saying the code for when I left, I just used the code I was given once there. All was sorted. Plan on coming back again this year.

Unfortunately for us the stairs were a challenge for most of our party, although we were aware the property had stairs before our stay. The property has everything you could need for a stay, but we were pleased that we had taken along our own bath towels as the ones provided were on the small size. The beds for us were uncomfortable and very hard and dated and the noise from the road did have an impact on us despite the double glazing. And it has to be noted that access to the property is not for the faint of heart, although there is a space to park at the back it is difficult to negotiate the tight entrance and other cars that are parked. There are lots of lovely places to visit around the area with lovely beaches near doorstep.
