Fridge far too small for 6 people. Pool looked cloudy, water not too clean. The 2 gas bbqs were unusable due to the very filthy condition they were in. Inside accommodation was clean and comfortable. The whole outside could do with an upgrade and deep clean.

Lovely location, very quiet and peaceful. Property is quite small, but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Fixing some small things would improve the overall experience, ie fridge is too small for 6 people, the locks on both bathrooms are broken, shaver light and light in twin room not working. The outside just needs some tlc, chairs outside cleaned etc. For a base for fishing for us, it was ideal. One small thing, there was no information about appliances or local restaurants etc, which would have been nice. Also note no welcome pack, so make sure to take tea and milk.
