First the negatives, none of which which would stop me visiting again, but all of which would improve the experience if resolved:
- Neither of the outside lights on the staircases worked. We predominantly used these stairs during daylight hours, but if we'd needed to use them after dark, it would have required a torch.
- Cleanliness was not the best. Ceiling fans were dirty and one of our party said one of the pillow cases on their bed felt greasy and had long hair stuck to it (suggesting it hadn't been laundered). There were also spillages visible on the front of a couple of the cupboard doors below the sink.
- The dishwasher in our property didn't work properly and required multiple runs to clean anything. We ended up (re)washing most things by hand.
- There was dirty cutlery in the cutlery drawer, and chipped/dirty mugs in the cupboard. I can accept that this might be a side effect of the dysfunctional dishwasher. but they could have been cleaned by hand.
- The Ice tray that collects ice cubes was missing from our freezer, meaning we had to substitute a container in there to collect the ice for drinks.
- there were a few missing items that would have made catering during the stay easier, for example a chopping board and some extra tea towels.
On the plus side, the location is quiet, and the house itself was large and well-appointed for the most part (see negatives above). It's a very manageable walk to the beach and there are some nice walking tracks in the estate itself.
