Plenty of linen supplies and kitchen was really well set up for a holiday (all untensils, cling wrap etc). Looked like the place had been cleaned since last guest but that must have been some time before our arrival, (there were bugs and critters). Just needed a clean closer to arrival I think. Otherwise would still recommend ##### Hannah M.

It was a hidden gem when looking for accommodation. Its big enough to host everyone comfortably with a great little back yard for a hang out. The house was clean and tidy with mostly everything in working order. The beach was a 5 minute walk as well as a local convenient supermarket and café.
