“We had a wonderful two-week stay in Avondale.”
The house was accurately described, though there was no mention of the recent renovation and refurbishment on the house - a nice surprise. The odd detail like a kitchen shelf or bathroom mirror still needs doing, but overall the house reflects high standards. There was even a proper colander for straining pasta - no small matter to a half Italian family. Games and books and movies keep everyone happy on a grey day, and the games room in the garden was an added bonus, as was the garden itself and the sheltered seating area.
Sharon the owner was in touch with us to let us know that our sheets and towels would be changed after one week, which was a welcome surprise. A gardener came round while we were out one day to keep things neat outside.
There's a shop one minute's walk away with a good selection - try their pies and sausage rolls! The beach is wonderful, just over five minutes on foot (with little people). Great for little kids, as it's sandy, shallow, and protected from the weather. Lots to do and explore in the area.
