  LOCATION PROS: The location was perfect and easy to find.

  It was close to main attractions and beaches yet far enough away for a peaceful break should you want to stay in. CONS: None. OUTSIDE the accomodation: PROS: The garden is a good size and loved the hot tub. It has its own gated parking area which was also a great addition. CONS: Not due to owners fault, there's a tree that over hung the car when parked on the drive which dropped a lot of sap which attracted wasps. We couldn't see a nest anywhere but suspect there may of been one somewhere with the amount wasps on the car each day. INSIDE the accommodation: PROS: The building is an ample size for the number of guests it can hold. Free WiFi provided. Kitchen - It had plenty of appliances, cooking equipment, cutlery and cleaning equipment to use during our stay. If you can think of it they pretty much have it. Loved the welcome pack of eggs and welsh cakes. Living room - Tv was a good size and had free view and Netflix app. If you have children there were a couple boardgames and there were a few books and magazines to read for adults. The fire place heater was great for the colder mornings. Bedrooms - The beds were comfortable and theres plenty of room in the bedrooms for your clothes etc. Each room had a bath towel and small towel for each guest. Bathrooms - Hand soap, hand towels and a toilet roll were provided in each bathroom. CONS: There was a lot of damp in the building. As soon as you open the front door you can smell it. There was damp/mold around almost every window in the building. Floor moves upstairs... not sure if some boards need replacing. WiFi was very slow, wasn't the best if watching Netflix and needed to do something on your phone at the same time. Kitchen - Bugs in the wicker table mats. Some of the cooking pots/pans could do with replacing. Door missing off the front of the dishwasher. Tumbledryer very loud, possibly a bearing on its way out?? Living room - Very moldy and damp. Black mold on the one wall and wall paper peeling off. Living room rug smelt, could do with replacing or washing. We didn't like to let our little one play on the floor due to the smell and the fact the room was so damp. Pictures hanging on the walls were moldy. Sofas did the job but were very uncomfortable. Bedrooms - We removed the pillow case on one of the pillows in the main room and found the pillow was moldy. Not sure about the other pillows and rooms. Mold/damp around windows. Dust on headboard. Had to move one of the beds in the smaller rooms to fit our travel cot in and the floor under the bed was covered in debris, could of done with a quick hoover. Bathrooms - downstairs bathroom smelt we only used once or twice due to the smell. Upstairs one was good but the bath doesn't drain well, it fills whilst having a shower. Suspect the plugs blocked. This accommodation has great potential but in our opinion does need some work.

  Castle coach house is so lovely, beautifully finished with lots of space and light.

  There is a great utility / boot room which helps keep all the mud out of the main house. The bedrooms upstairs have great proportions and yet feel very cosy, plenty of bathrooms! The open plan kitchen, dining and living space gives everyone the space they need. Sofas and chairs are comfortable. The different lighting options helps to make the mood right in the evening. Lots of classic furniture and trinkets to keep it feeling homely and interesting. The kitchen is well equipped. There are lots of games to be used. We absolutely loved the house. Couple of things to work on: maintenance of the washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, extractor fans etc is probably due. The sitting room area could do with a picture or two or a wooden dresser with the tv inside a cabinet, and get rid of the fender which takes up space and looks a bit odd. The enclosed garden wasn’t enclosed as the gate is broken. It’s also unfortunately a muddy bog which may be tricky to figure out as it’s at the bottom of a hill. I felt a bit sad being right next to lovely garden areas of the castle which have private signs on them all so you can’t use them.

  Very well placed in the centre of town for fantastically short walk to the beach, shops, restaurants though this comes with a downside see below. Beautiful apartment, very well maintained and furnished. It was spacious and comfortable and everything within the owner's control is fabulous! A super place to spend two weeks and a place we would return to. Downside: Not within the owner's control but it is noisy - next door to a pub beer garden so loud chatter and laughter till 11am ish each night and across the road from a nightclub which means you get treated to loud expletive-ridden arguments at 2am 2-3 nights a week. If we had younger children this would stop us from returning but our children are old enough to sleep through it. Also parking around the apartment is very busy - all over the double yellow lines, blocking in the designated space for the apartment most days and, on one occasion, IN the designated parking space! Employees of the next door bar appear to use it as their workplace car park.

  I was disappointed that the property had not been cleaned prior to our arrival and was not to the same standard of other holiday properties I have rented and expected.

  There were cleaning products available, so I started my holiday cleaning the bathrooms! Unfortunately there was no vacuum cleaner or broom available to sweep the floors. Important when the property allows dogs to stay and it is expected to leave the property in the same state as arrival . I reported this the next morning at the local office. Unfortunately, no vacuum arrived during our stay, as was organised. It would be helpful to have more information in the 'useful information' folder on recycling/rubbish and how to leave the property on departure. The property did have a lot of extraneous objects, papers, letters etc., cluttering up the window shelves and drawers of furniture. This is a lovely property and we enjoyed our stay. It just needs a good sort through, removing unnecessary items and make sure the essentials are cleaned prior to clients arriving.

  Overall it was a good stay, the cottage had many good points but there are a lot of improvements which could be made.

  Good points: the location is great, ample parking, good secure garden for dogs, warm tap outside to wash down the dog, beds were very comfortable, bathrooms were nicely done Improvements: the house was freezing when we arrived and took 2 days to warm up. There is a lot of unnecessary, old, and dirty furniture downstairs and in the bedrooms which were full of junk and are unusable for guests. The lounge furniture was not comfortable, needs better sofas and armchairs. One of the dining chairs was broken and could be dangerous. The kitchen was fairly well stocked but some of the equipment was not good, eg frying pans with the coating coming off. The hoover was useless, we tried to clear up after muddy boots and dogs but it was hopeless. The cottage wasn’t very clean when we arrived, there were items of clothing left from previous guests.
