Efficient clothes washer but no dryer. ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Fiona M. 2 Dec 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Perfect location This property is in the centre of town but set behind the shops so although everything is on your doorstep, there is no noise. A beautiful beach and miles of dunes are 5 minutes walk from the door so if you have a dog it’s absolutely perfect. The parking space is tight but we have a mini so it was fine for us. The rooms in the house are all a good size and the kitchen has everything you would need. A great choice for a wonderful holiday. ##### Fiona M.
