The house has a good layout, nicely proportioned and is in a good location. It was clean and tidy, with only a few things that didn't work as they should.
Check after an 8 hour journey with 2 small children of 5 pm - horrible

The beaches
Over grown garden at front and smelly, weedy, shockingly basic back garden.
Rubbish had to be picked up - had bleach the outside area to back smelled of dog urine! My dogs not used to sitting in that!
£3000 stay for 1-week! ☹️
Beautiful house.

The house is beautiful, stylish and attractive decor. Loads of room for all of us . The master suite has a super king sized bed, the mattress is so comfortable. There is a huge walk in wardrobe , and ensuite with a really good shower. There are also two other bathrooms , each with bath and over bath...
The outside area is very small, and the house is very close to all other properties. The garage door was too narrow for my daughter in law to get her car in and It was only a VS golf. Other parking is available at cost of £3.50 a day.
I did think it would be nearer to The beach.
