The thoughtful touches, such as welcome gifts, add to the charm of this coastal retreat, although such gestures are not guaranteed.
Most guests found the property very clean, with only a few isolated reports of cleanliness issues such as finding items under the sofa and food residue on chairs. The positive comments far outweigh the negatives, indicating high standards of cleanliness overall.

Guests frequently mention the comfort of the property, noting the spaciousness, well-furnished rooms, and comfortable beds. The property is described as a home away from home, suggesting a high level of comfort for visitors.
The house is well-equipped, but there are several reports of maintenance issues such as leaks, broken handles, and a noisy roof. While the facilities are generally appreciated, these maintenance concerns slightly lower the score.

Helen
It is clean, spacious and very well equipped (we like to cook). The beds are extremely comfortable and the seating area and dining area were perfect for our family group of six. The house is situated perfectly with a short walk to the beach. There was milk in the fridge and a cream tea had been left for us tooâ¦a thoughtful touch. We would love to come back!

A little far from the beach with young children. Disappointed that ( for a VERY expensive rent), only 3 toilet rolls were provided for 6 people in the house for a week. Cakebreads had no supplyâ¦. So we were stuck! Little cleaning materials/ cloths to keep the house clean, â¦as requested! We have rented homes yearly, often bringing, but never required, to use toilet rolls/ kitchen cleaning material etc â¦. 2 sachets of dishwasher/ washing tablets seemed rather mean?! However, a lovely property.

Kitchen etc very well equipped. Decked area great for alfresco dining. Some small carpet and furniture stains. Excessive and continuous local barking dogs intrusive. Persistently parked and returning laden rubbish truck usually left in front of property (operating a rubbish disposal business) blocking the open view to village green and unsightly builders rubbish.
