We enjoyed our 2nd stay at Sandpiper’s however the property is starting to look a little tired and neglected in places. Kitchen had a broken drawer which made the cupboard below unusable, dishwasher very dated and required cleaning as filter was dirty. Kitchen cupboards in general had some water damage, kick boards needed repair, oven however was fantastic. Mattresses on the king size beds were uncomfortable, pillows very poor and some of the bedding lacked substance as it was cold over Christmas. The garden was overgrown with ivy and brambles and also weeds growing in between the pavers. We have made the above comments not to be over critical but to give an honest overview of what is still a property with so much potential and the caretaker Julie is extremely helpful should you need to contact her
