Exceptional Views
This house is situated in a beautiful, quiet and unspoilt location and has stunning views. The nearby coves are lovely and the local village is pleasant with good food. The house is spacious and was clean. However, I found that booking with a third party, Interchalet, was difficult. For a start, I was not able to contact them through the HomeAway site, which was confusing. Only when my travel documents arrived was I told that the dishwasher was not in use and the key holder was not required to come out to the property to let us in after 6pm, and our booked flight arrived at 8pm. I contacted Interchalet and was told to phone the key holder, this I did but they didn't speak any English so I had to go back to Interchalet to ask them to contact the key holder to check this was okay. Then our flight was delayed and I was unable to let the key holder know. Consequently, it was only when we arrived and the key was in the lock, that I knew we could access the property. Stressful. The kitchen was too basic with a very small, slow kettle, crockery, cutlery, pans and not much else. The oven and hob were worn and only semi functioning and the gas ran out but I was unable to telephone the key holder and explain the problem. The downstairs bathroom was clean but smelt terrible and the pool turned green by day three. I feel this property has excellent potential but does not warrant the price in its present state. I would like to add that I do not know the relationship between the key holder and the property, but the key holder generously left some delicious fresh doughnuts and wine for us one day, which we greatly enjoyed.
