The property itself whilst in small parts a little tired has a great part new kitchen and 1st class bathroom. However this property is far more than a holiday let, it is the owners much loved holiday home and is wonderfully comfortable. The well tendered large garden and the views of the creek are outstanding. Doggy heaven. We certainly hope to be able to stay there again.

Weâve stayed there a few times now. We were there the same time last year for our 50th anniversary and was booked in for September which unfortunately was cancelled for reasons beyond our control which was very disappointing but we were so glad to see it was back up to rent by the new owners. We thought that was it . So we booked up immediately for our 51st. Hopefully weâll be back again soon and we love the new bathroom and kitchen by the way. It really was needed

The welcome pack of cream tea ,biscuits and milk was much appreciated. You need to take everything with you food wise though , even basics like salt and pepper, as none are provided. There are plenty of cleaning products but you do need to take tea towels. The internal of the property is disappointing as it is very tired and desperately needs updating. The property was clean and the towels were soft and sumptuous. The bedding was a little worn but clean. The bed is quite small , only a double, there is plenty of room for a king, which would be a nice addition. The furniture throughout the property is basic, though the sofas very comfy. The old bath is unusable as the enamel coating has flaked off in areas , which leaves it unhygienic. The attached shower head leaks terribly which affects the power of the water , so a shower is slow and tedious, there was plenty of hot water. The kitchen cabinets are very dated and worn there was a lot of water damage around the sink area.and it was impossible to remove the damp smell from the kitchen. The log burner was not usable and was declared as dangerous, the room heaters were very old but worked and were needed in the evenings , as though there was plenty of sunshine the easterly wind was very cold. We did have a fab holiday, and enjoyed the 2 beaches, which are very close to the property, we also enjoyed the local coastal walks .
