Guests say
The Dunes is a spacious property in a fantastic location, very close to the beach, with a large garden ideal for pets. Guests appreciate the proximity to amenities and the social layout of the house, making it suitable for family gatherings. While the location and potential for comfort are highly regarded, there are recurring mentions of maintenance issues that need addressing.
The property is generally described as clean, but some guests noted dust and cobwebs, and one mentioned mould in the fridge's water dispenser. The overall impression is that cleanliness is satisfactory, but there is room for improvement.
The location is consistently praised for its proximity to the beach and local amenities, making it an ideal spot for holidaymakers looking for convenience and natural beauty.
Guests find the beds firm and fairly comfortable, and the layout conducive to social gatherings. However, issues with a non-functional TV in the master bedroom and a foam piece as a mattress in the second bedroom suggest comfort could be enhanced.
Several reviews mention problems with hot water, non-working blinds, and difficulties with locks and appliances. These issues indicate that the facilities require significant attention and maintenance.
While there is a mention of a welcome pack consisting only of shortbread biscuits, there is insufficient information to assess the overall thoughtfulness of the property's provisions. It should be noted that gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed.

Great location, well equipped and comfortable. Will be on my future list. Only suggestion is when you have wet boots and dogs could do with a mop. I like to make sure it is clean before I leave but a bit hard without a vacuum. You can’t clean upstairs carpets and stairs with a brush.

Just back from a family gathering for new year at the Dunes, house is beautiful, provides plenty of space and has everything you would need, it is located in a great location, close to amenities and of course the sea.Just a few suggestions, House was clean, however could do with a dust of the cobwebs.Kitchen - great spacious kitchen, however wasnt oven trays? Would suggest getting some and some pizza trays.However these two small issues did not spoil our stay and we would definitely return.
