"a bit more care and attention was needed on the balcony ,it was lovely to sit out there and look out to sea but it was a bit dirty between the bedroom and balcony door opening, also a few cobwebs about the staff were lovely , made us feel really welcome even sending out a message on the day we arrived , nothing seemed to much trouble. some nice little touches like being able to help yourself to drinks in the fridge trusting us to pay when we leave , a water station with bottles to use fill it up tea/coffee milk in room which was re filled on our second day free paring outside or very near which was lovely we enjoyed our stay and would recommend a would stay again"
