Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the apartment to be in a clean and tidy condition upon arrival. There was a single mention of dishes and cutlery needing a wash before use, but this appears to be an isolated incident.
The property is consistently praised for its great location, being close to the beach, local shops, and attractions. The convenience of the location is a highlight for many guests.
Guests generally found the apartment comfortable and cosy, with a few noting the TV placement and settee as less satisfactory. The presence of the owners on the property was occasionally mentioned as a discomfort due to privacy concerns.
The property is described as well-equipped with a range of amenities and thoughtful extras. However, some guests experienced issues with Wi-Fi connectivity, TV reception, and unannounced maintenance, which slightly impacted the overall experience.
Many guests were delighted by the thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, such as starter packs of tea, coffee, and milk, as well as other little extras. It should be noted that while such gestures are appreciated, they may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

We had a lovely stay. The property is small but lovely. Perfect for the two of us and our small dog. Comfortable, very well equipped and welcoming. The garden is an absolute delight. We loved it . So much so , I have come home to use some of their ideas in my own garden. The owners have thought of pretty much everything to make your stay very enjoyable and relaxed. We could not praise this property enough and for the owners thoughtfulness and hard work in making such a delightful holiday rental.

It was in a great location, parking included. The hosts were super friendly, left some nice touches such as milk, tea and coffee on our arrival, a little gift and a note to welcome us. Even towels we could use in the beach. It was the perfect size for a family of 4, comfortable, had everything we needed for the week. Would stay there again in a heartbeat and will recommend to friends and family. The only let down was the British Summer delivering rain. But we had two tvs and board games to entertain us. Thanks for a great stay!
