Fantastic location, pool is great and we were in there every day. 5 min walk to dog friendly beach, and enough local pubs and eateries to keep you entertained. Parking is tight on site and if you bring more than one car, it’s a bit of a struggle to get the second car parked on the road. Inside the accommodation was comfortable, especially the beds. The interior is a little tired and could do with a bit of TLC and the balcony was quite dirty, which meant that we were always walking dirt into the living area. There could do with being a bit more equipment provided in the kitchen (for example, there weren’t enough drinking glasses for five people).There was also no welcome pack, so we weren’t sure on how to operate certain things or how to get into the pool, but Hannah was really helpful on the phone number provided.Overall, we had a really good time, especially due to the weather in the week we were there.

Beautiful cottage the cottage was spacious and clean apart from the balcony area which really needed a good clean. We had everything we could have needed and the views were spectacular. We didn’t get a welcome pack so wasn’t sure of the code for the pool and things so had to keep calling the lady responsible for the apartments who was super helpful. The pool was lovely and really relaxed and well needed due to the heat. The only negatives for us was people in the apartments with dogs who constantly barked it’s such a beautiful peaceful area to unwind but this did spoil it a little. The grounds were lovely to sit out in and the beach a short walk away we have booked again for next year as it is a lovely spot. Private parking was allocated and although tight it worked really well. The facilities in the cottage were excellent and the bedrooms and bathrooms very. Spacious with beautiful views of the sea

A nice property in a good position but rhe cottage has been poorly maintained. We found dirty (food stained) dining room seat covers, smelly pillows, musty smelling ground floor bedrooms, dirty balcony complete with a filthy rag and other problems too numerous to mention. However the bonus was the swimming pool which was much enjoyed by my grandsons. A shame about the cleanliness.
