On arrival, it was lovely and clean and didn't disappoint. The facilities were excellent, and we didn't want for anything. There was a slight problem with the TV, but the owner kindly sorted that out immediately. I would certainly book again.

Only half the pillows had protectors on, again this needs addressing. There was a stain on one of the mattress protectors in the small bedroom. Light on cooker hood not working.Outdoor furniture table had some green on the glass and the frame. The glass on the door leading to the decking hadnât been cleaned properly. There was a bad mark on the last quarter of the right hand side door. The bottom strip on the entrance door was full of dirt, which looked like it had been there some time. The batteries for the to Tv remote need changing. Our stay otherwise was very good and in a very good location.
