Guests say
The Chalet offers an unbeatable seaside location with stunning panoramic views and direct access to a beautiful beach, making it ideal for a relaxing coastal break. Guests consistently praise the peaceful setting, cleanliness, and dog-friendly environment. While the property is cosy and well-equipped, several reviews mention that it is dated and would benefit from some modernisation and maintenance. Some minor issues with comfort and facilities were noted, but the overall experience is positive, especially for those who value location and tranquillity.
Most guests found the chalet clean and tidy, though a few mentioned musty smells, stained linen, and occasional issues with flies. Cleanliness is generally acceptable but could be improved.
The location is repeatedly described as fantastic, with breathtaking sea views and immediate beach access. It is also well-placed for local sightseeing, making it a standout feature.
The chalet is described as cosy and comfortable by some, but others found the bed small, the bathroom door problematic, and the property a bit tired. Comfort is adequate but not exceptional.
Facilities are functional but dated, with several guests noting the need for upgrades, better outdoor furniture, and minor repairs. The lack of WiFi and some maintenance issues were also mentioned.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

The chalet is in a lovely position with an amazing view and we had a nice holiday. However we wish we chose somewhere else to stay as the property needs a big upgrade! It’s more than clear that the owners don’t care about it as previous reviews say similar from years ago. The bathroom door doesn’t shut so you can’t use the toilet in privacy. There is a massive crack to the bathroom floor which is unhygienic. The fridge stinks. The garden is a mess with really old furniture to sit on. There is no room in the bedroom and the bed is tiny in length and width. A massive problem is flies, they were regularly in the chalet all over which I thought was disgusting, the owners know about this and there is fly spray in the cupboard and an electric fly killer but as a guest you don’t want this. I think the holiday company need to be aware due to the health risk. The main light in the bedroom didn’t work due to the switch not being stable on the wall and so we had one lamp that the bulb was going. We did see the owners on our first night when we hadn’t long got there and told them about the door and light switch but hadn’t seen the other issues yet. They were well aware of these issues due to previous reviews. They are taking peoples money but not spending any money on this property. We will look at others in the area in future as they don’t deserve our custom.
