  Recently returned from chi am mor .

  property was as advertised in a fabulous location , with short walks / drives to many beautiful beaches , which is exactly what we wanted . House was clean and tidy on arrival , it was well equipped with most utensils and there was some lovely little extras like . nice loaf of fresh bread , some milk , lovely scones , jam and clotted cream which was all yummy , and a couple of treats for our little dog . there was also a bottle of washing up liquid which was all well received.( thank you very much) The master bed which was 2 beds zipped together was very comfortable and quite spacious ( we both slept like a log ) . overall we had a lovely stay in a house which was in a fabulous location . There was a few minor negatives , which we would not want , to put anybody off booking this property . there was no hammock in garden , which we would not have used so did not bother us and there was no barbeque which we would have used but to be honest was no inconvenience . but would advise this is pointed out to other potential renters . The wood burning hot tub was nice , but needed too much baby sitting and attention on this point and this point only we would probable not return , as we prefer a convectional hot tub , ( as with a hot tub . you would return from a nice day out , put some bathers on and just have to jump in and relax , with a glass of wine ) . instead of having to light a fire and wait for a couple of hours . We would like to finish on a high as the property is very nice and in a stunning location , the couple of minor negatives in no way spoilt our holiday we still had a ball .

  With regard to the cottage there were a few annoying things, not major but irritating.

  Primarily a lack of sink plug in the bathroom adjoining main bedroom which I occupied. There was no sink plug, necessitating me to fill a saucepan so that I could shave with wet razor every day. In the same bathroom I had an overflow from shower to floor because the drain hole had not been cleared and was clogged with hair which I had to clear. A minor iritation was lack of a soap dish anywhere so I had to lob the soap from shower to bowl after washing. There was a problem with the Wi-Fi code which is riddled with 1s,lower case i'sand I's and spent several minutes unseccessfully trying to logon. In the end had to t/p the housekeeper and write down the exact code, spelling out each symbol. She cheerfully told me that a lot of people had had the same problem. I suggest the code be recorded in written way such I, capital, I, Small, 1 number. There was a disappontment to find that the main hall where we went in the evening did not serve food until May and I may be wrong but I do not recall any advice on that score in the booking process. We had travelled a good while and were tired and hungry but had to drive off in strange surroundings to try to find an evening meal somewhere. All of the above said it is a lovely property in a super area, especially for dog owners, and I would rebook next year, especially if the modest problems were sorted out.

  When I booked the holiday there was a photo of the decking and patio doors which I thought belong to the holiday let.

  They actually belong to the flat underneath which was a bit misleading., that photo has now been removed. The listing also says, enclosed garden but it's not fully enclosed as there is no side gate. This is one of the reasons I chose this place as we good leave the doors open so the dogs could come in and out on there own. Obviously we couldn't do this in the end. The holiday let was great very clean and as We couldn't make use of the garden we used the balcony to chill out in. My only issue with the holiday let was the mattress on the superking size bed, way to firm for me and caused me pain in my back/shoulders. A topper might be an answer but I appreciate it's down to personal preference. Phil was very kind, helpful and welcoming. His little goody pack was a nice touch. As a suggestion I would suggest getting a side gate fitted and garden furniture. I know it says a duplex but it might be worth mentioning there's a flat underneath and it's a shared garden. Overall very satisfied with Phils holiday let. Would happily come back and stay again. Kind regards Craig and Kim.

  Thankyou for a lovely stay!

  The property was completely immaculate, it's laid out very nicely I'd say it's like a spacious one bed flat, with a nice size balcony, but then with another floor above, with an huge extra bedroom with another fully kitted out bathroom! All the facilities worked perfectly, with plenty of cooking and dining equipment. the heating was very powerful and effective! We were very cosy in the freezing temperatures outside! Phil, the owner was very friendly and helpful! He has good knowledge of the local area, and I would be confident that if any issues would have arisen at the time of my stay, he would have been proficient in resolving them. I would recommend the place to anyone, my dog had a great experience too! The location is great, right near a lovely beach with decent shops and a great Indian restaurant within close proximity. I could not criticise or faultour experience at Elin Howlyek in anyway. We're hoping to return in the new year too:)

  Everything was lovely about this holiday property.

  The house was well equipped and tastefully furnished and decorated. The owners even left a selection of books, games, dvds, and puzzles, should you need them. Lots of useful stuff in the kitchen. (And thank you for the welcome pack too.) The oven was different to what we are used to so it would have been good to see the instruction book. But we managed. Two very tiny issues and these were not major, but i think useful going forwards to know. The outside tap is tucked behind the big box and a short hose would be helpful for rinsing dogs, wet suits or beach stuff. And when i booked i saw single beds in the second bedroom and when we arrived the bed was made up as a king size. Again not a big issue for us as we were family. And maybe my fault as i only read this was something we should of asked for when i read the welcome folder. Overall, a great location and we enjoyed our stay at the Waves.
