They gave us a lovely welcome hamper. The only suggestion we have is that the tall stones in the garden be removed as they are wobbly. The front garden is the only space for children to play and removing the stones would make a safer space

Although the exterior varnish to the window frames needs refreshing, everything else was superb, and who cares really about the window frames when yo are in such a great property, so close to many fantastic beaches and everything else. I will definitely consider using this property in the future
