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!!

The other point is the builders next door had a bonfire and smoked us out so had too shut all windows and doors which is not ideal on a hot day.
