The size of the property is great and it commands sea views from the living room, garden and the main two bedrooms. The open plan layout is wonderful for the family as you are always together. To be honest the condition of the property is what prevents a 5 star rating, that and the poor tv reception and Wi-fi. The inside is tired and needs some work, there are stains on the carpet in a couple of places, marks on the work tops and most rooms need a fresh lick of paint. You can only rely on BBC on the main tv and this was an issue for the first week of the World Cup! There is a tv in the main bedroom and that has no problems with the reception. Also the Wi-fi is only 2mbs, oddly the router is upstairs which means downstairs you struggle to connect. A quick google search indicates 30mbs is available and with a modern family would be most welcome with a good quality router. The garden is a good size but not very well kept, it looked like the grass had been recently cut for the first time in weeks. The patio furniture has missing glass and a chair leg is rusted and there were also a number of cigarette butts on the patio. We loved the idea of a table tennis table in the shed it’s just a shame the bats were in poor condition and there were no balls. We went out and brought some balls and have left them so the next family weren’t disappointed as well! Just an idea but a blackboard and chalk in the shed would be nice, just to keep track of score.
Location, size and views were all great, the condition is what would prevent us going back. The poor TV and Wi-fi would also be a factor, not that we went there to sit inside and watch tv all day but to be able to relax of an evening and keep the children entertained they are essential in this day and age.
