8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The apartment was very clean with comfortable beds, well laid out and comfortable seating in lounge. Bathroom was good sized with instant hot water and a good shower. The heating which we needed despite being mid June was great. The apartment also had good light. Sadly while we were there the sea mist obscured the lovely views and prevented us from walking around the coast. Visibility was less than 100 metres. One slightly unusual aspect of the apartment was a door marked "Private" between the 2 bedrooms. Unsurprisingly this was not mentioned or shown in the advert of the apartment. No one of course attempted to use it but conversation and noises from another apartment could be heard through the door which was a little disconcerting. Downsides, the TV is tiny (26") with no HD or playback facility. I appreciate that you do not take a holiday to watch TV but the weather was inclement and the World Cup was on! The fridge is also small, a self catering family of 4 would struggle with capacity. Finally on a brighter note The Village Inn served decent pub food and was welcoming with good service. PS If you bring bottled beer bring a bottle opener and an extra toilet roll would be useful for a family of 4.
