“Nice well-equipped house with mostly* great views, but unfortunately noisy at times so it didn’t make for a relaxing holiday.”
If I’d known there were going to be building works next door I wouldn’t have booked, but by the time I was made aware it was too late to do anything about it so we just hoped it wouldn’t cause any problems.
However, building started at 8am or just before most weekdays, and largely consisted of loud banging and sawing until around 4-4:30pm, so although we planned to visit other places during our stay we were more or less forced out of the house regardless.
Although the view directly facing the sea was unspoiled, you couldn’t unsee the unsightly scaffolding when looking left on the balcony, nor ignore the traffic accessing the public carpark next door to the house, although the latter wasn’t an issue after about 6pm.
Last but not least, the house backs onto a railway line, but to be fair this is mentioned in the property description. What isn’t mentioned is that the first train is 6:45am apart from Sunday’s, then hourly, and it didn’t fail to wake us up. Then we snoozed til the next one, then weekdays had to get up when the builders started. Glad to be home for a rest, although still enjoyed the rest of our stay at weekends and after 5pm...
