Good bach

Good location and easy communication with owner. He lives below the rental and you barely know he is there. He comes and goes and doesn't bother you. Having a fenced garden was good as we had a small child with us. Great deck and views to the sea. House layout and bedrooms were good. Living area was larger than the photos made it look. The only downside was that the interior could do with a deep clean. The bathroom/kitchen were clean but I was aware that there were cobwebs and accumulated dust in corners of rooms which brought the overall feeling of cleanliness down. Would be happy to stay there again.

Unprepared

Suited our needs for Xmas accommodation while visiting family, however, the host was not prepared for our arrival and the accommodation could do with a thorough clean throughout. Sheets provided were very aged with yellowing pillowcases. Similar for towels.

A great beach holiday

A great place to stay with the grandkids. Very close to the beach with a lovely garden for boys and dog to play in. David provided kayaks to use which was a big hit with the little boys. Overall a successful summer break.

I stayed with my 2 children and we had a most enjoyable and relaxing stay. There was everything we needed in the house, even for baking, and David is a great host. We would definitely stay there again, the children felt they could have spent the entire summer at this place.
