The cleanliness was the only negative as it had not been cleaned before we arrived. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and lovely. Location was absolutely superb for a family holiday. Would highly recommend.

The house has a great location with easy access to the beach. Lots of room for extended family group or friends to stay, lots of parking and a big section. It was an excellent base for a long weekend in the area and with 8 adults in the house never seemed crowded. Lots of space for everyone.
