Interaction with guest

I like to welcome guests personally wherever possible. When it is not possible we have a key safe just inside the garden gate - code sent before arrival. We are at hand to help - to answer any questions Stayed here for a week starting June 24. I can only echo what most other reviews express. This really is a great property to stay in. Amanda has done a wonderful job in creating a perfect holiday property. The house provides ample space and faciities for a large family. It is home from home with some really nice touches. Lovely kitchen area. It has a nice garden with barbecue. It is close to the beach and town. All in all a perfect base for what we needed and we hope to return next year.
