Couldn't fault anything! Communication with the host company was easy, the house was warm and clean on arrival, and there was everything you might need for a comfortable say.

Quaint little cottage, however, the beds are horrendous. Very old, saggy and extremely lumpy with a hard lip all the way around the edge. If they are zip linked together this means a double hard lip right down the middle. The second bedroom really should just have a single bed or bunk beds if height allows. Luckily I was on my own so no one else had to climb over me to get out.The outside space is very small but made smaller by all the over hanging plants. None of the bushes had been trimmed back and the roses were draped over the table. It had not been swept or tidied in many months.The living room is extremely dark due to just one small, frosted window. This means the lights have to always be on. The spotlights are very bright and must not be dimmable because the dimmer switches had no effect.No hand towel in kitchen. Only six of each cutlery items. Definitely need more if you want to use dishwasher and not constantly be washing up.Cottage is fairly quiet and close to all amenities and the beach.
