    The location was great, staff was very friendly. The house was also cosy but could use some more decoration. The living room was spacious but not nicely decorated. The garden chairs where not cleaned and the bedroom cabinet also didn't look very clean. Overal it was a nice stay and we liked the set up of the place.

    A really lovely cottage with the outside space and access to a parking space being real bonuses. Good wifi and all the basics were provided for us. Any problems (issues with lights & blocked shower) were sorted as quickly as they could. There is a continual noise from a local factory/warehouse, which, once you get used to it, is just like white noise and probably cut out other street noise. Beds were very comfortable.

    Everything! From the moment we arrived we felt welcome and the feel of the place was like a home from home. Clean, charming cottage with lovely furnishings, immaculate and well equipped. We loved the terraces and pool area. Hosts were lovely too. The area was safe and close to restaurants and cafes and of course the beach 😊 Totally recommend and hopefully will return.

    What a wonderful stay. Although it was a cold winters stay, the apartmrnt was cosy and had a fully working fireplace, heaters and heating air-cons. The summer sun also reached the private terrace and made for cozy coffee mornings. Enough space for the family and we loved the eclectic look. Everything was great from start to finish. We will be back for our next CT trip!
