“Overall we had a lovely time at Coral Villa
Key Positives
Location - 5 minutes to the sea front and a short stroll to the harbour
It is a well appointed attractive accommodation with minor aspects of wear and tear that you would associate with a well used property.”
Each room - except the bunk bed room, has an en-suite with sink, shower, toilet and modern heated towels rails in them.
It is an ideal property for large parties to celebrate an event, with generous lounge seating and dining area, with a the hot tub being a lovely touch that was enjoyed by many of our group.
Kitchen has two ovens/kettles/dishwashers and ample fridge and freezer, an extra toaster at breakfast would be helpful.

We understood that the bedroom on the ground floor was suitable for a disabled person - it really is not. The position of the toilet in the corner makes it difficult to assist someone who has limited movement on one side. The shower has no rails or slip mats or shower seat. The addition of a rail by the toilet and in the shower, as well as a non slip mat, would make all the difference - it would be great to be able to hire a shower seat.
This was a special birthday celebration and I had the back room at the top of the house. The bathroom has a drain smell which was quite bad at times and so I mainly used the family bathroom as the front.
The showers were an issue that disappointed all. They appear modern and for short times work fine. However when you have shampoo in your eyes and feel like you are playing a game of Boppit with the controls its no fun. They randomly go from very hot to freezing. It may be an operator problem, though we all struggled - A laminate in each bathroom to explain operation is needed.
Housekeeping - I am old fashioned - I do not want to get into bedding that has come straight out of a dryer without ironing - sheets on bed bottom really crumpled - I sympathise that it must be difficult to turn this large house around in a day. The soap dispensers give a false sense of luxury when many were empty so probably better removed if there isn't time to fill them.
Guests please bring some oven trays if you are doing buffet. Whilst lots of pans, mugs, plates and serving dishes there is a shortage of oven trays and though there are a couple they have not been kept well by previous guests. - Pyrex jugs and oven trays would be a welcome addition and easier to dishwash and keep nice - feel quality over quantity and a bit of a sort out is needed.
Would I go back - yes definitely, if the grab rails were installed to the downstairs room and the shower instructions were improved though I would take extra bakeware.
