Guests say
Guests appreciate the stunning location, cleanliness, and the range of facilities including a hot tub and swimming pool. The property offers beautiful views and is well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Walks to the beach and village add to the charm. Some guests suggest improvements in comfort, particularly regarding the beds and sofas.
The property is generally praised for its cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting the tidiness and well-maintained condition. However, a few guests noted issues with the pool cleanliness and dust in certain areas, slightly affecting the score.
The location is consistently lauded for its breathtaking views and proximity to the beach and local attractions. The peaceful setting and private walks to the beach are frequently mentioned as highlights.
While the property is often described as comfortable, there are recurring comments about the need for better quality beds, sofas, and pillows. The comfort of the furniture appears to be an area that could be improved.
Facilities like the hot tub and swimming pool are well-received, but some guests experienced issues with maintenance and availability. The allocation of pool slots and the unexpected unavailability of the hot tub on certain days have been points of contention.
While some guests were delighted with the welcome groceries, there is not enough consistent mention of thoughtful gestures or gifts across the reviews to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

All the extra little touches do make it feel luxurious and the pool is fabulous. Any little criticisms are just down to personal taste e.g. the sofa is not comfortable and the cooker is not very easy to master!

Warm and well equipped, good condition. Sofas need updating as uncomfortable. Could not use hot tub as too exposed. Swimming pool ok but nowhere to sit at side of pool and could not see any life belts or safety equipment in the pool area.
