Thank you,too, for the goodies you provided. There was everything we needed for making Christmas dinner along with ample cutlery,crockery and glasses. We particularly appreciated the three bathrooms and the crisp white bed linens. We hope to return.
Sally
Good quality equipment and lots of it. Thank you for welcome gifts much appreciated. Few little things the big plates stop dishwasher arm from going round . The balcony glass does need cleaning I did leave note for cleaners and main shower was not draining properly also key box very stiff we struggled with it and a spare set of keys would be very useful as we found we constantly were worried when putting shoes on in lobby we could get locked out of house door if we didnât put latch on or have key but non of this affected us we thought you had a beautiful place and very well equipped and comfortable and sunset was amazing
Deborah
Especially loved the sunny first floor large bedroom. Good location for the park for grandchildren and dog. Nice walk to the beach. Some may see being on top of Tesco as a downside but for us it was very convenient. It was also surprisingly quiet. Wouldnât hesitate book again or recommend.
