Oké huisje voor even.
Pros:

Grappige huisjes en vlakbij strand en dorp

Cons:

Een wat ouder huisje maar prima om even te verblijven. Locatie was prima, maar beetje typisch tussen grote nieuwe huizen. Onbemande receptie maar wel mogelijkheid tot contact. Fijn dat extra koffie of wc paier voorhanden was. Echt koken was lastig met één kleine pan en twee koekenpannen en hapsnap keukengerei. De koelkast was niet erg schoon. Een vaatwasser was prettig geweest.

Disappointing for the price you pay
Pros:

Location was good. beach nearby

Cons:

Light switch next to the bed in one room popping out. Also same thing in lounge. Ceiling fan in one bedroom wobbling and very noisy. Contacted the host Amanda about this and asked if she could come and look at it. The response I received was "No". The place was very dusty with lots of dead flies on the floor and window sills. Balcony glass and railing covered in spider webs. Kitchen utensils dirty and only one tea towel provided for a 3 night stay. There was also a planned power outage on one day of which were not informed of by the host. Very annoying when we were cooking breakfast

Needs some TLC
Pros:

Great location , beds comfy and easy access to property . This could be such a lovely property though with a small investment made

Cons:

Due to its location I think it charges more however it’s nothing special but could be. The bathroom and downstairs is so dated, tired and worn , especially the bathroom. I read a review about a dirty old washing up cloth left and I too experienced the same plus the fridge was dirty inside. Just needs a bit more effort made and it would make all the difference .
