Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently mention the cleanliness of the property, highlighting its well-maintained condition and clean decor. The attention to detail in this aspect is frequently commended.
The location is highly praised for its sea views and direct beach access. The peaceful surroundings and proximity to local amenities contribute to its high rating, although accessibility to the beach for those with mobility issues is noted.
The comfort of the beds and living spaces is often mentioned, with guests finding the property cosy and suitable for their needs. Some guests, however, feel that the property could be cramped for larger groups.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-stocked kitchen and washing machine. However, some guests suggest updates and mention issues with limescale in the kettle, indicating room for improvement in maintenance.
While guests appreciate the 'home from home' environment and the provision of everyday items, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.
