Overall comfort and location was fine however beds were not comfortable and one had stains on sheet, there were 2 pots in the kitchen that were unusable due to having rust and mould and some cutlery were dirty meaning the whole lot had to be cleaned before use. Owner (next door) had dog which barked late at night and early (before 7.00am) morning, not ideal if on a resting relaxing break.

Thank for taking this time to leave this feedback. I'm very sorry that there were a few items not up to standard. I understand you did not report this during your booking so we were unable to rectify this for you. We have informed the host who lives on site and he will check the kitchen equipment. We have not had a noisy dog reported before . I don't believe this was the owners but we will check right away.

The house was very comfortable with a small garden for the dog. It would have been useful to have some coat hooks in the hall and two extra, comfortable seats in the lounge (there were 4 but the house sleeps 6). Also it was short of cereal/ fruit bowls. Otherwise well equipped and convenient for walks to the beaches and shops. We enjoyed our stay here.

The bungalow is in an excellent location, with three bedrooms, a lounge diner and a garden. The kitchen is very small but usable and well equipped. The owner lives in front and is very friendly and helpful - he even let us hold a small gathering after a family memorial we travelled down for and offered to let our guests park on his drive.

A few tips that would make the holiday even better (keeping in mind that the bungalow already represents excellent value for money given its location and size):

There are NO hooks anywhere (other than the smallest bedroom to make up for the cupboard housing the boiler). If there was a row of hooks in the hallway for coats, and a few in the bathroom for towels, clothes, etc., this would make a huge difference for very little cost. A couple of hooks on the back of each bedroom door and on the side of the sink (for tea towels) would also be helpful.

The curtains were thin and light coloured. This means that they let nearly all the light in, including all through the night as there are street lights on both sides of the bungalow on the infant school site, and the public car park the other side. I strongly recommend investing in black-out blinds and/or curtains. it may also help to insulate the bungalow.

The bungalow sleeps 6 but there were only 5 tall glasses. The mattresses were adequate but had seen better days. The pine furniture is practical but looks old and out of keeping with a modern bungalow. The TV service was poor - it didn't even seem to include standard Freeview which was a shame with the children there.

Please don't take the above as reasons not to book - we had a great time and would book again! :)

The bungalow is lovely, very clean; it is also spacious - there were 5 adults and it felt roomy and certainly not closed in! the Mattresses /linen/ towels and the cooking utensils were all of very good quality! There is a good sized bathroom & the garden a real bonus (weather turned lovely whilst we were there and it was lovely to be able to seat out)! Enough parking for 2 cars in front of bungalow; The location of bungalow is good; very easy walk to high street (less than a few mins) with a walk to the beech easily done; the avenue itself very quiet (we heard no noises in the time we were there); We would have no hesitation in returning to the bungalow, good location,/ good size and it is very well maintained!




It's O.K.

This property has 2 things going for it, the location (in the middle of the island) & there is a Co-op a few minutes walk away. The problem we had was that the beds and furniture were very uncomfortable, but someone else might find them O.K., we are all different afterall.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am so please you enjoyed the location but disappointing to hear you found the beds uncomfortable. The beds are actually brand new, all i can think is that they are possibly a bit too firm still. We will take a look!
