“Such a beautiful property, with panoramic sea views.”
it’s a real shame we were looking out over a messy pool area. Cover not on properly & blowing about all week in the windy weather. Hose pipes, and cleaning equipment left out. Otherwise a fabulous stay, no control over the weather! But thankfully an extremely comfortable property, very clean & well equipped. It felt very welcoming and homely, with tasteful decoration throughout. On the downside…. The apartment was reached via a small country lane, which was a challenging route, dealing with oncoming cars. There are some passing places, but reversing, pulling over, and passing tested driving skills. There maybe another route, although once there, we did not venture out via roads again, until going home. The electrics lights in the apartment, at times had a mind of there own, flashing on and off, perhaps due to dimmers using the wrong type of energy efficient bulbs maybe? There is a delightful little cafe near the beach, but otherwise no pubs, restaurants, or shops nearby, so make sure you have the supplies needed. Around a 20 minute walk into Hope Cove ( mostly flat SW coastal path) which was perfect for lunch, but dinner would mean walking back in the dark at this time of year. (November)
We seemed to be the only guests staying as very late in the season, so the owners of other apartments were taking the opportunity to improve their properties, with men workmen, kitchen fitters, and gardeners as some work being done to maintain the hedges etc.
in the height of the season, anyone around the pool area would be able to see into this apartment, I’m not sure how comfortable I would have been with that.
On the whole we had a wonderful stay, a much needed break away.
