6 / 10Average·Sep 2024
It is a good size accomodation for four adults. Unfortunately the matresses of both beds are of a low quality making it unconfortable sleeping. It is self catering but there is no welcome pack and no basics such as salt and pepper.
Our shower head was broken on arrival but the house including the shower had been cleaned, so it should have been replaced before our arrival. After contacting the the owners the shower head was replaced, later that day.
The outdoor furniture is dated and rickety but usable.
The information says there is access to the beach but in reality it is not safe or easily accessable for people with walking dificulties. We were only there for a long weekend but there is no washing machine. On departure we were instructed to put recycling into clear bags and non recyclable into black bags but there were no clear bags. We were instructed to take glass to a local recycling centre which we took home to dispose of.
The location was tranquil and peaceful.
