Lovely holiday home owner very friendly , Perfect location not far from anywhere . The only small complaint was there was no cleaning items to wipe down the worktops and no extra bin bags had to go and buy my own and the bed side tables hadn’t been dusted for a while and only one hand towel . I maybe just be fussy but I don’t think we should have buy our own .
