Guests that stayed at this property said
The property generally received positive remarks on cleanliness, especially the bedrooms and beds. However, some guests noted the need for a deep clean in certain areas, such as living room carpets and appliances, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its peacefulness and proximity to beaches, shops, and scenic walks. It is considered ideal for a quiet getaway while still being accessible, which is reflected in the high score.
Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of a spacious property and comfortable beds. Some guests mentioned issues with a single bed and thin duvet covers, but overall, the property is seen as comfortable.
Facilities like the hot tub, games room, and gym are highlights, though some equipment was reported as needing maintenance or cleaning. The presence of flies and some broken items slightly affect the score.
Guests appreciated thoughtful touches like a bottle of wine and quick responses from the owners. While gifts are mentioned, they are not guaranteed for all stays. The score reflects the overall positive reception of these gestures.

We had a few small issues, but Phil & Mandy were on hand to sort everything.

My three year old granddaughter loved that there was a room full of toys just for her.Although some of them were a bit tatty it didn't spoil her enjoyment.We enjoyed the log burner which kept us cosy in the evenings.There was a problem with the boiler which left us without hot water or heating for one day but this was quickly dealt with by the owners and the house was cosy. There is a lovely laundry room which would benefit from an airer to hang wet clothes on, or costumes after using the hot tub.Also a measuring jug and whisk would be welcome in the kitchen. The conservatory is a great dining space. We would recommend this for a family holiday.The massive bath was a brilliant surprise!

The utility room, bedrooms and sitting room were super. The huge well-enclosed garden was fabulous for our dogs to run freely, although the 'neighbours' dogs came wandering across the front leaving mess on the lawns. We had a fabulous holiday, but feel that the following recommendations may help the owners make improvements to make it a top quality, 5 star holiday let. The Kitchen facilities were quite good (although would suggest - replacing the 3 broken tin openers with a working one, exchanging the toaster for a 4 slice one). Hob extractor needs attention. The en suite shower had a fair amount of black mould in the grouting and the heated towel rail was leaking. The huge, beautiful bath was spoiled by having a number of hairs from the last users in it - not too clean. The upstairs floorboards and stairs creaked very loudly and the bannister rail felt very loose. This did cause issues waking our sleeping family members. The gymnasium was disappointing - the running machine was only good for a gentle walk and the foot straps on the bike were broken, rendering it almost unusable. The games in the garage were incomplete / with some damaged parts (eg broken table tennis bats and dented balls). We didn't use the hot tub - so cannot comment. All in all, we would love to return, but just hope that these suggestions might make it a top quality destination for others.
