    Location is fine but wish they’d been honest about walking / access to beach:town centre. it’s a 25/30 minute walk (& not one suitable for families /small children - parts with no pavements & a really dodgy junction to cross 20 mins into walk) we managed it once (downhill btw) & took an Uber every other time. the property itself was so great it won’t put me off however the description led us to believe we’d be walking out of property & be on the beachfront (stated beachfront location)!??

    this property is.fabulous. great size, super clean, outside facilities: pool, loungers, monkeys! table & chairs. Area & accommodation feels safe, host lovely.

    Saira is a very lovely host and was always willing to accommodate us in any way. She was so attentive to all our requests in helping set up a surprise proposal. She gave us such a warm welcome upon arrival and even gave us a run down of what facilities are close by and highly recommended restaurants in the area. We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home and we would highly recommend it.

    It was perfect for our needs and I Saira is clearly a thoughtful and caring host in all respects.

    This cottage was absolutely perfect for our short stay. The host, Saira warmly welcomed us and took the time to provide us with all the information we needed. She was flexible in accommodating our check-in request. The cottage is beautiful, access is easy, it has all the amenities one would expect, is well maintained with really good beds, and quality linen, and feels like home.

    ...those monkeys didn't like me 😅😅😅 lol

    Loved absolutely everything. We have stayed at quite a few places and this topped it all, even 5star boutique hotels have nothing on Saira. Her attention to detail and warm welcome just starts ur stay off on the right note. The grounds, the cottage, the decor, the space, the cleanliness 12/10 🌞 Keep it up Saira, we will definitely see you again in future and please DO think about starting accommodation classes...the rest can definitely take a feather out of ur hat...our stay felt like home. Impeccable!
