“On arrival we noticed dust, crisps, and dirty surfaces.”

The bathroom was dirty & shower. Hardly any space for clothes. The draws in the bedroom wouldn't open. The frying pan was filthy with the Teflon flaking off. The Chalet is near the road and all you hear is cars all day & night. This is the first time I've ever had to complain about any holiday accommodation. The place needs a total overhaul as it's tired' and nothing like the photos. Plus, to cap it off the lady next door had two yapping dogs.

“Property is directly opposite the road which wasn't listed in the listing with traffic passing well into the night , very noisy, double bed is a small double I'm 5ft 10 and my feet dangled of the end , bunk beds make squeak noise every time you turn over and really needs somebody to tighten it all up , bunk mattresses very uncomfortable you can feel the springs .”

Pull out soaf bed is very uncomfortable to use as a bed or as a settee. . Sink drainer slope the wrong way so water don't drain back into the sink , fixture and finish of the Property is quite rough all round , site staff are fantastic as the pool , local beaches and cafes also very good , but due to how uncomfortably we slept or didn't . We came home 3 days early. Also some kinda of shade for the patio area would have been nice .

“I was not happy about having to put £1 coins in a meter for fuel.”

The beds were not comfortable, with old and lumpy mattresses. Otherwise, the property was clean and well equipped. It was also cold as there was no heating apart from an electric fire in the living room, and nothing in the bathroom, which was very cold.

- Jennifer, April 2026

there is a wall heater in the bathroom a portable heater in the bedroom the mattress in both bedrooms are new this season other guests have commented on how comfortable they were the fact you need to use a coin meter is advertised on your website the chalet is south facing in the sun all day so quite warm again as other guests have commented Property Owner

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

Really nice location. Apartment was clean and well maintained. Could Really do with an enclosed fence for dogs. Not far from main road and as it was very warm so it would of been nice to be able to have the front door open without worrying about our dog. Beds weren't very comfortable.it wasn't made clear that we needed coins for the electric, when booking i am sure it said electricity included.Could really do with a smart tv to allow netflixs etc. Luckily there was a decent amount of dvds to explore old films etc. But those small gripes aside we had a lovely time and would maybe go again.

“Very pleased with the challet, well situated, well maintained, clean and tidy.”

10 mins walk to the beach, well stocked shop on site and plenty of places to walk. Only thing I found to improve would be to fit blackout blinds or curtains, very bright when the sun comes through the windows in the morning. Perfect if you can sleep with light though. Would recommend and would return.

thanks for your review will check out the blinds keep telling my husband we need them in our bedroom Property Owner
