Finest Retreats - The Noel at Lesceave

What a charming, bijou place - perfect for a cosy retreat. The bed was very comfy. It was very peaceful. Well-equipped kitchen. Stunning location.

It was cold at times. There was no hot water initially (except the shower, which worked fine), but this was sorted out - amazingly, the owners managed to find a plumber in the middle of Christmas, who quickly fixed it. Impressive.

Location is amazing, just a few minutes walk onto the beautiful beach and coastal path. Bed really comfy.

The track down to the property needs some attention. There's a speed bump as soon as you leave the main road to the property's track and it has a massive pot hole right up to the speed bump; a heart sinker for you're car wheels and under carriage! Property needs a deep clean; we opened the door to a face full of cob webs and you could see on ceilings and in corners bundles of cob webs. We arrived on a day when there was snow falling and the heating hadn't been turned on in the property for our arrival - it was freezing and took 24 hours after we turned the heaters on to warm through - not a very welcoming start. The electric towel radiator in the bathroom never worked the whole of our stay, so getting towels dryed was difficult. The dishwasher was full of mould. We thought we'd run it empty to clean it through but it was stuck on a cycle so couldn't use during out stay. Mould in the bathroom - could easily be resolved with some specific cleaning products. The free view TV wasn't working for live TV as not connected to an aerial - this would be beneficial to look at for guests. We couldn't use our Netflix log in as a previous guest had converted the language into German and we couldn't revert it back to English; luckily we had our iPad with us so used that for TV in the evenings. There's a locked door off the bedroom to another room of the owners which during the night between 2am and 4am there was some kind of nocturnal animal scratching and gnawing on the door which woke us up each night which was a shame as the bed was really comfy. We didn't see the owners or any reps of the owners during our stay for us to discuss the issues with but did leave notes for the housecleaner. This could be a great little get away if some major TLC could be given to it to spruce it up.
