What guests are saying
The property felt very tired and a bit unloved.
There was mould and water stains on the ceiling as you enter the property. In the bathroom near the living area, one of the taps was actually crumbling (not something I’ve ever seen before). Both bathrooms looked like they could do with some investment. There was also an odd array of furniture which felt like they had bought every bit they found on their travels. On the plus side, it was spacious (apart from the bathrooms), the balcony was a lovely place to sit and the kitchen had obviously been put in more recently. And given the spacious lounge area, a larger tv wouldn’t go a miss. We had a lovely time, but I wouldn’t book this particular property again. For info, we booked another property with you in July which we have booked again next July.
Very well equipped from kitchen and the lounge area bed was comfortable Minor problems with toilet seat but now sorted TV takes some sorting out with so many types of HDMI bits and LG but we sorted it out Otherwise a pleasant stay in a great location with a good sea view from windows and balcony.
The latest of many visits and as always we enjoyed our time in this welcoming, comfortable, well-equipped and well-maintained flat, with its excellent view of the sea.
Also very impressed with the owner’s quick and effective response (and his phone call to check it had been sorted) when we reported a minor issue in one of the bathrooms.
