★★★★☆

Lovely house, very well presented and carefully planned. Almost everything you could want is thought of. The house is very dog friendly which we loved. It was also very clean and well equipped. The beds are really comfortable and we all slept brilliantly. Having forgotten games we found the games cupboard to be a nice touch. The guidebook was excellent, particularly with the knowledge of the local areas and we had lovely meals at the Dinorben and Skye’s. It was also helpful for checking how things worked and information about check out etc. Stunning sea views from the front of the house and from the side of the rear garden, I can imagine it is fabulous in summer. We were also celebrating my Dads 70th birthday and there were flowers, balloon and a note waiting when we arrived which was a lovely personalised touch. The owners have obviously put a log of effort into the house and are proud of it, and the local area. However, there were a few minor negatives to our stay or things to be aware of. I had a few issues with the electric car charger - whilst this was due to my car ‘blocking’ the car and not to do with the charger, the app did charge me even though the car wasn’t charging, although a relatively small amount of £5 over several attempts it still an inconvenience. We were conscious of poop scooping after the dog but it appears other guests were not as we also collected a number of bags that were obviously not from our dog. It would also be helpful to have some facility for storing and drying wet clothing and shoes. It was quite stormy when we were there and we struggled to hang coats/shoes when they were wet. We did use the conservatory so as not to ruin the console in the porch but a coat rack or maiden would be useful (sorry if we missed this somewhere) The owners were very good at keeping in touch but this seemed a lot, especially for a long weekend, and included a text message that the hive system had alerted high electric use (charging the car) and also allowing access for an engineer to the garage on our last morning. Unfortunately we felt slightly like there was ‘oversight’ of our use of the property. Overall the owners are very approachable and keen for guests to have a great stay in a lovely well-equipped, dog friendly house.
