We found the house to be very clean, well equipped and as we stayed during the heatwave, very cool inside. The courtyard garden is lovely to sit out in, and we also enjoyed eating our meals outdoors. Sadly it was too hot for us, to use the sauna, though ! Rhian ( the owner) was very helpful, and responded promptly to any queries. The house is situated very close to the town, with plenty of lovely dog friendly cafes, pubs and shops, also the great beaches, are all within easy walking distance. We highly recommend this property and look forward to staying there again.

The accommodation suited us perfectly, being spacious and comfortable. We loved the big kitchen diner, and the double sized sitting room was very sociable. The house was very well equipped and felt like a home rather than a holiday let.

Negatives Water barely hot enough for a bath, no scissors or corkscrew had to purchase ourselves. Lots of cracking and general poor decoration in most rooms. Needs a blind in main bedroom. Garden unkempt. Open fire place in lounge very draughty. Also found dirty mouldy mug under sofa.
