Pros
- stunning location
- lovely house
- generally very well appointed (although a king bed is desperate needed in the master bedroom at this level of accommodation)
- paddle boards were an excellent inclusion
Cons
- there is very little privacy or sound buffering from the owners next door when you are outside
- the owner’s children had an extremely loud party one afternoon/ night/ the next morning, swearing, yelling and singing drinking songs extremely loudly
- this continued to some extent the next morning with loud belching, swearing and very loud conversation
- we felt unable to go outside or to the water as they were so disgusting and were heckling passers by
- the management company didn’t respond at all despite us ringing/ texting and emailing
- the owners did eventually agree to an extra nights accommodation (which ended up not suiting our plans/ a refund for that night would have been more appropriate) but didn’t apologize despite being next door, which made us think that they weren’t overly concerned about the impact on our holiday and probably wouldn’t prevent it happening again to someone else
- given that there are lots of rules about noise and visitors in terms of renting the property, we were fairly shocked that this happened
Overall, a really lovely place to visit and we would book again if we could be guaranteed that there wouldn’t be any parties next door.
