Brilliant midweek stay at Loreto. Property is tastefully decorated, clean and homely. Games room is a great bonus. Excellent base to explore the island. Welcome basket was a lovely touch. Thank you so much.

Firstly let me say the owners have done a great job here and as its a holiday let we appreciated the property and the nice touches that they did, so we only had a couple of points, see below but first the good ones.Pro's - Excellent location for beach, shops, supermarkets and restaurant's. The garden was fully secured so our dogs were safe to be outside on their own. Interior décor was very nice and to our taste and the off street parking was great.Con's - Upstairs shower was OK however the door did stick quite hard and the first night I had to help my daughter open it which was uncomfortable for us both after this she would wedge her beach shoe at the bottom to avoid the door issue again. Also in the upstairs bathroom there was a wire rack to hold soap above the tap for myself I found this to low down so that when I went to rinse my mouth after cleaning me teeth I could not get fully over the sink - I reverted to using a glass.Kitchen was well laid out and a good stock of everything however the frying pan and some of the pots could do with updating. Next door neighbours had builders in and to be fair they did not start any noisy work until after 10am and were in general quite but it would have been nice to be advised on this before we arrived,

Lovely comfortable house, although the kitchen could have more utensils. Wonderful quiet location, not too far from beaches etc.
