This property was advertised with a hot tub , which was non existent. There was no linen provided and no bathroom towels etc . The property manager was extremely difficult to contact and very slow to answer emails. The front door was virtually impossible to close and lock. Garden path leading to the backyard was totally overgrown. There were cockroaches crawling on the floor. Overall our group were very disappointed.

Great comfortable house
We had a great stay. The only issue was the previous tenants or the cleaners didn’t put out the bins and we didn’t notice until it was too late. Had to squash our rubbish in and ensured the bins went out. Overall a lovely stay. Thankyou.

The house was in a lovely quiet location
The house was quite spacious with different seating zones outdoors with plenty of shade. We especially appreciated all the necessary occodiments and little things that you don’t need to run to the shop to buy (aeroguard, cling wrap, laundry essentials etc) Beds were comfy and rooms spacious, heating and cooling was fantastic.

Great Family Property
Loved the outside dining, BBQ and seating areas in a fernery and undercover so we sat out in the rain. The house suited us perfectly. Great location, lovely cycle path into town. Quite rustic which we liked, very relaxing. Nice grass at the rear. Plenty of room. Separate toilet worked well as only one bathroom. Thank you - we would love to retun one day.

Good but a few little things let it down
- No hair dryer as listed - please was not very clean with a lot of cobwebs, dead bugs and dust that had not been cleaned in a long time - bins were too full to throw rubbish out - very dark lighting meant it was difficult to actually see what we were eating/doing in lounge areas On the plus side - owner comms lovely - place in good location - lots of space and excellent outdoor

This property was okay. Not particularly clean or tidy and not very close to the heart of town.
We used the spa which was good but as we have stayed in many properties on holidays this would be the one we probebly would not return to.
