In their words

We came for a long weekend and ended up staying the whole week. Everything was just as pictured, which you cannot say about many rentals.

We had not expected the balcony to be the best room. Breakfast, lunch and dinner all happened out there.

My mum needs level access, and this house really was level throughout, with no hidden step at the door.

The sunset from that balcony should be illegal. We cancelled our restaurant booking twice just to watch it.

Ten of us, three generations, one long table. The dishwasher ran twice a day and nobody minded a bit of it.

Rang on a Sunday because the boiler was sulking. Someone arrived within the hour with biscuits and a spanner.

Two minutes to the sand is underselling it. We timed it: ninety seconds, flip-flops on.

The ferry view never got old. Our toddler still waves at boats from our third-floor window at home.

A seagull stole our sandwich on day one and we still gave five stars. That tells you everything.
