The majority of guests found the property to be very clean, with only one mention of a musty smell and another noting the need to clean some appliances. These seem to be isolated incidents, as the general consensus is that the property is well-maintained.
The location is highly praised for being within walking distance to the town centre and beach, with the added benefit of lovely coastal walks. The only drawback mentioned is the tricky driveway, but this does not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.
Guests have expressed that the house is warm, cosy, and offers a practical layout with comfortable seating and excellent beds. There is a single mention of a lack of safety handles for the elderly, but overall, the property is seen as very comfortable.
Facilities are generally good, with the property being well-equipped. However, there are several comments about minor maintenance issues such as the need for better TV instructions, ill-fitting curtains, and a musty smell. The driveway and hot water issue in one shower were also noted.
While the welcome pack and Christmas tree were mentioned positively, there are not enough reviews discussing gifts to provide a score. It should be noted that such thoughtful touches, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Severe fly issue within the house. In ‘luxury’ accommodation do not expect to clean up dead flies on window sills and carpets 2/3 times a day. The house smelt very damp/musty.
