Garras Reviews

We had a lovely holiday. The property was spacious and very clean. Was an added bonus having the hot tub and 2 allocated parking spaces. Wifi signal was excellent so ideal for streaming etc. Also nice being a 1015 minute walk away from the beach. Local fish and chip shop is worth a try, need to pre order online though. There are a few things to feedback though. Two king rooms are not zip and link, they are 2 single beds pushed together which needs correcting on the listing, this did impact my sleep a bit. Downstairs shower door was very stiff, so not easy to open and close. We couldn't get the hob to work and there were no instructions. Pans were rusty and need replacing.
