It was peaceful, well furnished, walking distance from the coast and there was off road parking. We also really enjoyed the local tea rooms at Town Farmhouse. We were a bit concerned about the hot tub because of a previous review on here, but I spoke to Tracey the property manager for a good 20 minutes before we arrived and she took me through the extensive cleaning process they do for the hot tub for each time new guests arrive and they are very thorough. We used it multiple evenings and had no problems nor were there any smells. Just shower before and after you get in, and if you stay longer than a few days go for the midweek clean - standard hot tub rules which I donât think the previous guests followed. Only thing worth mentioning is the house is a bit light on basic consumables like washing powder, cling film, loo roll etc so make sure to bring what youâll need if youâre staying more than a few days. Or alternatively there is a shop just down the road.

The house is beautifully finished, well equipped and very comfortable. my only complaint from a comfort perspective, is that the beds are memory foam and covered in plastic protectors. I found them very hot for sleeping. The house does have some minor maintenance issues. The kitchen tap drips constantly and the hot tub does not work completely as some of the jets are non-functional. More worrying was the fact that the hot tub had not been maintained properly. We all got folliculitis, which is known to be caused by a particular bacteria buildup in hot tubs. There was a smell of rotten eggs, emanating from the tub after a few days.

My only comment would be the mattress protectors are like sleeping on plastic . I understand why they are needed but not nice and I suppose cannot be helped. Otherwise everything perfect.
