The location is great. Very close to the hub of the village and good if you wish to walk to any of the local bays and attractions, or pop down to the pub. Plenty space for larger families and good toys and dvd's. No wifi but good cell coverage. 4pm check in for some reason (?) but the weather was fine so we dropped the bags killed time at the playground and beach. Unfortunately some soiled garbage bags put a strong odour through the whole house on our first night. After we removed them the cleaner came and cleaned the kitchen area which was much appreciated. The kitchen Extractor is probably ineffective as there is some residual background smell but a very good clean of the area including fabrics would make the house worthy of 5 stars. Many thanks for a nice family holiday.

The house was clean and had everything we needed. It's also in an exceptional location with a fabulous view from the verandah. The only reason it's not got 5 stars is that the kitchen reeked of fried food (there is no extractor fan), so much so that apart from breakfast we didn't want to use the kitchen at all. One other point of note to prospective renters is that there is no WiFi. While the particulars do not state there is WiFi, I never checked for this as I thought it was a given, my bad.
Response from Owner
Thanks for staying Justin, we appreciate your feedback. We're particularly sorry about the smell. We've had out cleaner in to provide a deep clean of the kitchen yesterday. We do have an extractor fan above the cook top but this possibly wasn't used by the guests before you. If you book again, please reach out direct with any issues so that we can try to resolve while you are there. Thanks again.
