It was a perfect location for a family Christmas by the beach. It is well set up for guests and everything has been thought of. The viewing platform above the house was a great addition although you needed to watch your step (this was down to the weather conditions). There was an issue at the property during our stay and our hosts were great and communicated quickly (which we didnât expect given it was 23rd December!). The oven gloves need to be replaced/bring your own and there was some small areas of black spot mould but given the poor weather weâd had and the business of this property, Iâm not surprised and it didnât take away from our stay. Would highly recommend and we look forward to coming back at some point.

We think 12 noon check out in the quieter months is fair and a 2pm check in. You were also expecting us to wash and clean everything before leaving â¦.

This beach however is contantly visited by tractors, taking boats onto and off thre beach, and storing the boat 'trollies' for transport! Some holiday makers had to move to make room for the contraptions! However a nearby beach was much quieter, and could vbe accessed on foot, or a short drive. Castell was a comfortable property, and suited our family mix well. The property was well supplied with kitchen equipment, and utensils, we had everything we needed. The only criticism I had wsas the cleaning of thre property, did lack attention to detail. Behind furniture (Sofa) was found to be very dusty with cobwebs. The areas around skirting boards were also not well cleaned. Shower cubicles showed signs of mould and could have been better cleaned. We did have a very good stay, despite the weather, just need to make sure your cleaners do a better job!
