This house was surrounded by close proximity building site. Noisy and dusty. Maybe when the work is finished it will be better. The soft furnishings were poor . The bbq needs replacing Poor value for money

We really were very sorry to hear this. We had been reassured that works were not due to start until late in the year, where we have already contacted and pre-warned guests within that period. We have contacted the owners to check on this, and it seems that the national grid had needed to carry out work to increase electric car chargers in the village, that required them digging up their field; something that we are assured is separate to the works planned by the owners later in the year. We are so sorry that we were not made aware of this to give you advanced warning, as we would always want to be completely open and honest with guests about anything that may impact their time at a property. Thank you so much for letting us know. We will continue to liaise with the owner to get any prior warning in future. Classic Customer Support...

Cleanliness was an issue, tired furniture, rusty bedroom balcony furniture not fit for purpose, loose patio tiles, my little grandson cut his toe on one, overgrown grass, dirty carpets, washer and dryer needed cleaning out, However the pool, hot tub and large patio area where excellent facilities for my family and 5 grand kids and the ocean views from the house beautiful, if you can overlook the other issues. Unfortunately on our stay the front of property was full of cars and work men daily which impinged significantly on our privacy and be prepared for the pool and hot tub maintenance through the week....

We were so sorry to hear of this. Had we known of these concerns at the time, we would have contacted the company that own and manage these properties, to get them to come over and resolve any of the concerns straight away. As they have a reception there, and trades on hand, they would usually be able to quickly rectify anything, though we appreciate it should be 100% for you right from the start. Regarding the workmen, the owners had assured us that no work would be taking place until a lot later in the year, at which point all affected guests have been contacted, so we were very sorry to hear of this, and will ensure that this is followed up with the owners. Thank you for bringing all of this to our attention. Classic, Customer Support...

This house was perfect for us as a party of 10 friends, especially as many of the beds were zip and link allowing us all to have our own beds. The sea views from some of the bedrooms were such a bonus. The facilities were excellent. As it happened we had fantastic weather during our stay, but should it have been inclement we would have had plenty to occupy us at the house. There is a large covered BBQ area which is great for a bit of alfresco dining. You can go for a sea swim at the old harbour about a 5 minute walk away. The beach is a little rocky and the sand coarse but it was nevertheless a good place to take a dip. We also took a swim at a Long Sands, a sandy beach about a 5 minute drive away near Tregantle Fort. You do have to park up on the road and walk down to the beach. There are good, moderate walks in both directions along the coast from the house. We had an excellent meal at the Finnygook Inn, about a 10-15 walk away (uphill). Lovely pub, nice atmosphere, good service, plenty of room for a large party. We loved staying at this property and intend to book again next year. ...
