The extras such as candles, throws on sofas, made our stay very homely. The only points we thought of were the heating. We were a bit hot, and would have changed the times of the heating being on. But understand the need to cater for all, and we did use the radiator thermostats. Also maybe an extra saucepan? We will be back!

It is a stone's throw from both the town centre and the beach. It's warm and cosy and also brilliant if you have a dog - and it was a nice touch when the owners left a bottle of wine on arrival. We booked 24 hours before arrival and the owner came back within minutes to say it would be cleaned and ready. We would happily return. Thank you

..... Kitchen - The double/half step between the kitchen and dining room is lethal, I tripped a few times. The tap was covered in limescale. There are 12 fish knives (ever tried to cut/spread something with a fish knife?) but insufficient knives for two meals for four people. Not enough wine glasses. The dishwasher door catches on the baseboard - when you open or close it, the baseboard pops off. Bathroom - We had to descale the shower head - only about 10 holes were clear, the bathroom radiator was not working and the hot tap turns on and off the wrong way. General - I caught my bare feet on the gripper rods at the thresholds as the carpets are threadbare. Outside - is a bit dismal, not because of the time of year, but because the walls are painted black/deep charcoal.
