While some minor issues with maintenance and facilities are noted, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests planning to return.
Most guests found the apartment to be clean and tidy, with several positive comments on its cleanliness. However, one review mentioned dog hair and spider webs, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, pub, shop, and local attractions. The scenic walks and peaceful setting contribute to a high score.
Guests frequently mention the comfort of the apartment, noting it as cosy, homely, and well-furnished. A few concerns about heavy dining chairs and a draughty window are noted but do not significantly detract from the overall comfort.
The on-site facilities like the pub, cafe, and pool are appreciated, but some guests experienced issues with the pub service and mentioned a desire for a dishwasher. The lack of night entertainment and a general shop are also noted.
While many reviews mention the helpfulness of the owner and the provision of games and DVDs, there are no specific references to gifts being provided to guests, so a score cannot be given.

There were dog hair on the carpets and spider webs on all the windows and corner of the ceiling. Bathroom knob kept falling off. One of the kitchen bulbs wasnt even working. Toilets were not even flushed after putting bleach. No basic facilities like handwash or tea/coffee/sugar, kitchen foil, spare bin bags etc were provided. These are things available at every airbnb. The dining table wasnt suitable for indoors. I ended up hurting myself twice during the stay and getting bruises while saving my baby crawling around, so if you're travelling with an infant, I wouldn't recommend this place at all. It is not at all safe. There is no electric car charger within 5 miles. It was overall very inconvenient and disappointing stay that spoiled our first Christmas with my lil girl. Such a shame!!

Well equipped, warm and cosy - just perfect after a day walking on the fabulous beach or visiting the surrounding area. A perfect autumn break.

Close to the facilities at the bay. Owner was very helpful in an early entry. Had more dvds than a rental shop. Weather a little dodgy but that's not anybodies fault. Thanks again.
