Great children’s - dog beach nearby
Enjoyed the location which was quiet area and a short drive into town and beaches nearby. Disappointed that the outdoor tv was not working - as a family group with small children we would have appreciated this to work. Also check gas bottle before cooking as it’s occupier job to go fill it up and seek reimbursement which I don’t think is fair when your on holidays. Ours ran out halfway through dinner and a wine, so no one could drive. Maybe host could consider a spare handy for guests. Yard secure for dogs which was great, allot of stairs at the property to be mindful of but a beach view is nice. A few new additions to the cutlery draws would be nice however overall comfy and it’s nice to be able to take your pets with you
