Anne-Marie met us at the house and showed us round. All the beds were made up (extra charge) plus she provided bread, cheese and cider for our lunch! So kind! It soon became evident that the photos in VRBO are out of date. There is an extension to the ground floor bedroom with a walk-in shower, loo, his and hers basins and wardrobe and drawer space, which I enjoyed greatly! Also there's a second fridge and a 4 drawer freezer in an outhouse, which was very useful as our daughter and family stayed too. Paying extra for towels was great as there were plenty including flannels, swimming towels and tea towels and oven gloves and a child's robe. When we couldn't find scissors or the baby stair gate, Anne-Marie came round with these bought specially for us! So we felt relaxed and very welcome. All the bedrooms are lovely and the top floor is versatile as it has twin beds plus a bed settee and occasional table and chairs. The shower has been replaced with a drench/rain shower with jets.The wi-fi is excellent.
Outside the large lawned garden is fenced/walled and not overlooked. There was a large table on the patio and a choice of chairs, plus loungers for the lawn. The new gas barbecue is very good. You can hear traffic at times, especially upstairs with the windows open but the double glazing is very sound proof and there is a high wall at the front by the road. The sandy beach is 2 minutes walk away, and there is miles of it! La Boulangerie sells gorgeous light baguettes and pastries that I can actually eat whereas in England I am allergic to the wheat flour. My family came from Germany and enjoyed it so much that we have already booked again for next year, despite the long journey!
