A Little Disappointing

Overall we felt the cleanliness was not up to standard, the bathroom particularly. Broken toilet seat was not good given it was broken last time we stayed which was a couple of years ago. Lock on back door broke mid stay. Beds are very uncomfortable. Oven needs instructions included in the home manual - it’s very confusing to operate. Great location, and overall fine - just needs a little TLC to fix a few things up.

Perfect Location

We loved the layout of the property. It was perfect for our family stay. Lovely, light and spacious rooms and everything was very well equipped. The location just across the road from the beach and next to a playground and skateboard park was fantastic.
