“Lovely house with great character in a superb location.”
Large rooms and large gardens and well equipped for a long stay with dishwasher, washing machine, ample crockery, glassware and pans. Walking distance from the beach, a shop, 3 take aways and a children's playgrounds. Only issue was maintenance, particularly the grounds, the guide states a gardener visits every week but this didn't happen. With very overgrown grass, thistles, nettles,, and timber benches and pergola in such poor condition they were unusable, the garden looked quite neglected.
Good afternoon I am sorry to hear your comments and happy to discuss further. You are right that the garden was not as hoped but recent weather and torrential rain meant we were unable to mow and prepare as planned and in fact the gardening team did not go in until this Wednesday . All the garden furniture will not be put out until the end of this month . We try and cater for guests own requirements and as far as I am aware this booking was for 4 adults and 3 teenagers and not any children . We also supplied contact details for help within the village so that any problems can be rectified as quickly as possible. Please do not hesitate to contact me
