we took our young well trained spaniel, however, the owner had several dogs of which one was aggressive to our girl, we had to carry her from the car to the property when the dog was prowling plus 6 cats who loitered around the property, the dogs were always around so not allowing us to sit outside to enjoy the views.

The guestbook is filled with compliments about the welcoming owner and his family. But when we arrived they went through a personal tragedy and we didnât see much of them. This is normally not a problem, but here the owner has a dog which was not very friendly to us and our dog. Instead of calling his dog back the owner just stood in front of the window, looking at us when we were trying to go past his dog. The house in itself is on a beautiful location with sea views and all. But it could be so much better. It is all a bit worn out. Replacing some furniture would do a lot of good. The fridge in the kitchen is very old, and consumes a lot of electricity - for which you have to pay. And it wouldnât do any harm to spent a few euros in Ikea and get some new cutlery. We were looking forward to stay here, but we left a bit disappointed.
