Jul 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Disappointing Stay – Wouldn't Recommend for Cooler Weather I recently stayed in this unit for three nights and unfortunately found it quite lacking in several basic areas. The biggest issue was the inadequate heating - heaters in the bedrooms did nothing at all and I felt that the split system was on a timer, and wouldn't go on until late int he eventing – the space was good by uncomfortably cold, and there were no additional blankets provided to make up for it. This made the nights especially unpleasant.There were also not enough towels supplied for a three-night stay, which is a basic expectation for any accommodation. On top of that, there was no kitchen towel available to dry dishes, making self-catering inconvenient and messy. Not oven mits or anything which was annoying. While the unit may have potential, these oversights made the experience far from relaxing. I would recommend the hosts address these issues to ensure guests have a more comfortable and practical stay. ##### Cigi C. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander T. Nov 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We stayed for five nights and had a relaxing, enjoyable time. The rooms were comfortable and the view was lovely, we fell asleep each night to the sound of the waves. The property was clean, well-heated, and perfectly located within walking distance of shops and restaurants, even with a pram.Despite visiting during a very cold and rainy week, the multiple heaters kept the place warm without any issues. We also made frequent use of the washing machine and dryer, and everything was in excellent working order. The kitchen had enough plates and cutlery for simple meals, though a dishwasher would have been a welcome addition. Overall, the view alone made the stay memorable. Thankyou for having us at your cosy place! ##### Alexander T. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025
