An extra cupboard in the kitchen would be a good addition. The shower door doesn't close properly. Some spare lightbulbs would have been appreciated. (Bulbs blown in livingroom and one bedside lamp.) These are just minor quibbles, and didn't spoil our holiday. The property is in a good location: near to the beach, shops, pub, and ...

    The neighbours were very friendly and knowledgeable. The wifi worked very well. Some of the kitchen cutlery/crockery wasn't too clean. There is nowhere to store food.

These are just minor quibbles, and didn't spoil our holiday. The property is in a good location: near to the beach, shops, pub, and easy access to places of interest. There is no DVD player (even though one is included in the listing.) This was a big minus for us, as we specifically checked for this facility before booking.
