Great views and walks along coastal path. The main problem was the terrible smell coming from the kitchen area which affected the whole property. When I informed Penny she said it was the tank (septic tank??) under the kitchen floorboards which sometimes gets blocked and it was sorted the next day. Penny was lovely and helpful but unfortunately the smell did really spoil our stay.

Front door is accessed via tradesman entry, around the back and uninviting. Sadly the only bit worth the price was the size. Very generous proportions. Shame we could hear the neighbour every time he went for a pee, their bathroom was next to our lounge/diner, and the walls are thin. It had a good layout once inside, and had it not been dated and worn would have been super, bedrooms were generous, and the linen was spotless, lounge furniture very dated, Iâd say 80âs to 90ââs, but was serviceable, one of the double patio doors in the lounge couldnât be opened (would have been lovely to bring the outside in) it looked as if the lock had been fused somehow and so permanently locked shut. They could also have benefitted from a clean on the inside. The decking is super tired and one of the planks was loose (potential trip hazard) also one of the posts in the decking fence was missing. The decking furniture also very worn and tired, would have been lovely to sit out but no umbrellas or shade at all so the patio was not used by us. We had some rain one day and next morning found stones from the 20â ish wall on the alleyway pavement. Such a shame the property isnât maintained better. Lastly we were happy to see the tennis lawn, sadly the ground is dangerously uneven, with a hole on one side. I fell quite hard. Excellent cooker, washer, microwave. Good sized kitchen, well equipped, but a few wooden spoons would be good, my adult sons bought men sized glasses and breakfast dish ,their choice, and left them there for the next party. I feel this property has huge potential and just needs tlc and updating in parts. Would I book again , only if updated and repaired. Currently in my opinion not worth the money.

The kitchen could have been better equipped. It was generally comfortable with enough space and dining on the deck with the beautiful view of the sea was the highlight. Only having one shower was a difficulty with six people. The âhosepipeâ contraption in the bathroom did not work! It would have been good to have storage for vacuum cleaner, ironing board etc instead of having them in corner of bedroom. Disconcertingly, mouse droppings appeared overnight and there was a strong odour in the kitchen. Access to the coastal path was great.
