We were planning to stay over with our kids and dogs (all welcome), but due to a change of plans on short notice it was just my husband and I who shared the cottage with sleeping facilities for 8. We were as good as on the rocks next to beach and approximately 70 meters from a choice of two restaurants, one of which was going to be our choice for the evening in any case! What a warm welcome at reception where De Waal gave us one look and judged us (quite accurately) to be interested in heritage and all things unique and local.We were given a quick summary of the nearby cave dwellers and a 2 second run through history which we found interesting.

The next morning we wanted to wash the towel and linen only to find two "Out of order" washing machines in the kitchen. The stupid receptionist then had the audacity to call me to replace the effected goods. She went on to say we left the crockery dirty, come on this is a serviced place.
