If the definition of the word 'luxury' is : ''great comfort, especially as provided by expensive and beautiful things '' then I would hesitate to use this in the title of the Old Vicarage's brochure. Very comfortable and clean (unless you are looking at the skirting behind the beds) - a great location with many plus points including comfortable layout and sofas in the living area of the Garden cottage. Very well kept gardens with the added bonus of a large playing field and playground directly opposite the property as well as a great post office/ grocery store a couple of minutes walk away. Lovely walk direct to the beach from the property. The elements that let it down ,as with so many self catering locations were the little things that make all the difference - for example, great to have a large dishwasher in the kitchen, but frustrating to have such a limited supply of inexpensive crockery to really make best use of it. A lack of some really basic kitchen items such a a colander and a decent selection of cutting knives and boards. No excuse really these days when such items can be obtained for minimal costs and are clearly needed for families who choose to holiday in self catering accommodation. With a little thought and a small amount of outlay these types of things could be easily addressed and satisfaction levels would rise enormously. We would certainly consider returning as overall it is a great location and base but we would want to see just a bit more effort put into things to justify the self given title of 'luxury'.
