This is the 2nd time staying here, primarily it is very convenient for the dog which we can just let out of the patio doors. This holiday home is very good for the shower, the bed and the living space is really nice. It is just a pity that no-one seems to care, there are still cobwebs that were here last time, the headboard really, really needs replacing, it just needs a bit of TLC. We were left a small carton of milk, little sugar packets, coffee and tea. The hosts could be slightly more generous as in many other holiday lets which we also go to. Hope this helps as the views are wonderful.
