Perched very high affording fantastic views over the bay. It has a lovely large kitchen, suited to the high number of guests that this property can hold. It was a bonus to find it had identical twin ovens to our own. All modern and a variety of kitchenware. No complaints. The whole of the downstairs has wooden flooring which is a godsend when you have a couple of dogs, nice touch having a dog bed in the lounge. What did frighten us was the three full length 100% glass doors. We strategically positioned chairs to prevent our 2 year and 13 month grandchildren going anywhere near ( they look so thin), the cube shaped door handles with sharp pointed edges added to the hazard. We had three generations of our family staying, outside there is a lovely sheltered balcony with a large seating area, fantastic. A word of warning, donât pick the twin room with en-suite as we did. The beds are atrocious, sleeping on a mattress with a deep ravine when you have back problems is no fun. Waking up in the middle of the night and hating the fact you have several more hours to endure before getting up! The bed slats creak very loudly on every minor movement, a complete joke. You also have to have the quickest shower possible as the drain canât handle the amount of water, youâre standing almost ankle deep with the water level close to the doors. The toilet also clears its flush very slowly. Despite the bed the rest of the property was very good and the main bathroom was very nice. The lounge had loads of comfortable sofas and the TV had so many options. On a safety note, stair gates were asked for, one was totally useless, impossible to lock and we had to use the awkward swing preventer to jam it. A couple of times our granddaughter was found climbing the stairs. We had asked for a cot, no mattress provided, it did say âno beddingâ which we assumed, no duvet or sheets. Please supply dimensions if youâre not providing a mattress, there are so many different sizes. Directions finding the place in hindsight was good, but as first arrivals we found it difficult. Why not use âWhat 3 Wordsâ app? On all listings. Lots of pluses and an enjoyable week for all. Shame about the bed which somewhat spoilt the experience for me but my children and their partners and grandchildren loved it. We would very much like to visit again.
