Guests have enjoyed the property's balconies and proximity to the beach, despite some noting maintenance and cleanliness could be improved. The property's charm and location have led to repeat bookings, indicating a positive overall experience.
The property generally maintains good cleanliness, though some guests noted areas for improvement such as cobwebs, dirty windows, and occasional debris. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule, as the property was also described as very clean by others.
The location is highly praised for its spectacular views and good access to the beach and shops, despite a mention of a hill on the way back. The scenic surroundings contribute to a positive experience.
The property is considered comfortable and suitable for large parties, with spacious areas and lovely balconies. However, a few maintenance issues were mentioned that could affect comfort, such as a wet carpet and a moving tile in the ensuite.
Facilities are adequate with room for improvement. Guests appreciated the equipment provided but noted disorganisation in the kitchen, a need for a second fridge, and some maintenance issues. The property's potential is acknowledged, but attention to upkeep is necessary.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews provided, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

We love it at Acresfield, it is perfect in every way. We love it so much we have booked it for 2023, our third year there. A couple of things to mention though, the carpet outside the master bedroom ensuite felt wet on occasion and on the last night we noticed a tile on the ensuite shower floor moved when stood on, possibly where the water was coming from to make the carpet wet? Also the property wasnât as clean as it had been the previous year - dead flies dotted about on floors and ledges, fly dirt on the lightshades, dirty windows outside (not unavoidable bird dirt, it was a not cleaned window dirt ) and nail clippings on the carpet in a bedroom. These are not huge things, and very possibly one offs, but if as a company youâre paying for a team/person to clean you arenât too know if they are fulfilling the service they are hired to provide if customers donât report back. These did not detract our enjoyment of the property and we very much look forward to returning next year.

Really nice property with lovely balconies to take in the spectacular view. The accommodation was spacious and could accommodate a party of ten easily. Although there was adequate equipment provided in the kitchen it was totally disorganised and took us ages to find anything. Cleanliness was good but could have been slightly better as there were cobwebs and dirty windows and bushing up outside would have helped the initial appearance. Garden area was not used much as access for children was difficult and not adequate fencing for the dog, especially with the sheep at one point being right next to the fence (my grandchildren loved this). This was not too much of a problem as the balconies more than made up for it. In general a lovely property in a beautiful setting, with good access to the beach and shops (a bit of a hill on way back but worth it for the view. I would definitely return to this property.

It was perfect. Purely for the sake of constructive feedback - my very small point would be that bathroom cleaning products were provided in preparation of cleaning the bathrooms upon departure. There was toilet stuff in every bathroom, but nothing to clean the bathrooms with - it's a very small point, and wasn't an issue, but something that crossed my mind at the end of the holiday.
