Parking in the street was terrible not like the photo of the house with no cars . Local residents and day trippers park in the street. Their was no folder with information about the house or local amenities . No phone number if we had a problem. The main bedroom only had a chest of drawers and a hanging rail.the twin room had plenty of cupboards all filled with children's toysThe kitchen was good but no information about the appliances. We arrived on a Friday the refuse bin was full and was not emptied until the following Friday the day we went home The summer house was full of brambles. We found a pair of secateurs and cleared it out. The lady who cleaned the house did an excellent job The pizzas from the shop are good but you have to order them
