No kitchen or wifi and difficult shower.
No indoor cooking or eating facilities. This lack of kitchen dominated our stay. Having to go outside to make coffee in the morning was inconvenient and cold. No wifi was also a surprise. Shower was very difficult to get in and out of. All else was good.

Xmas stay 2023
Nice and private even though sited at the rear of main property. Very well equipped and very clean, tidy and nicely furnished. Great outdoor deck with cooking facilities. We spent most of our time with nearby family. Good location but you will need a car to access beaches and shops. Thank you for having us to stay.

The outside patio area was lovely and relaxing and is where we spent most of the time when were at the property. The outside gas heater provided made it a really cosy way to spend the evening. The beds and furniture were really comfortable. Very quiet area. It is a great place to stay.

Lovely place, Clean and great communication
Lovely place, nice outdoor decking environment, great communication and smooth booking process. I did not notice it is attached to the landlord's place and separated by a glass door, but they were nice people. Also, read it on the reviews that there is no cooktop and only the BBQ outside which was pretty handy. Overall great experience and highly recommend for a family or small group.

Lovely location
Everything was lovely and clean and great location. The only thing that did not meet expectations was there was no indoor kitchen. Under amenities both kitchen and kitchenette were listed, however there was only a BBQ, Toaster, fridge and microwave with no real cooking facilities, hot plates or oven.
