The space is amazing and despite it being October we were able to use the jacuzzi and swim pool easily as they have a roof! A few of the pans in the kitchen could do with an upgrade and weâd have liked some instructions on how to use the ovens and tumble dryer (trial and error and googling takes time) but they are minor in terms of the quality of the whole experience!

The house has all you need and Claire was very responsive with the couple of questions we had. Would not hesitate to return.

The stay was good but before entered the house there were damages to the property before our arrival. We had trusted that the owner will know the damages that were there. After our stay i had been contacted that we had chipped tables, took their mop and bucket when there were none at the property. Also damaging their duvet when it is a simple wash. I do not recommend this property as we are being accused of things we had not done. Please stay away!!
