What is stated as a great holiday home for up to 14 people came with no towels until Tuesday after a Friday check in so we had to buy towels for everyone., incorrect bedding on two king size beds with two single sheets that didn’t fit stretched on the bed which was very uncomfortable, 6 wine glasses and no flutes so we had to buy flutes to start our family celebration. The key safe didn’t work at all so we had to take the key with us and the dishwasher didn’t work from day one which we did report on several occasions. The kitchen equipment was really poor, no big jugs for juice and the cutlery was very poor. It is a beautiful house With great potential but unfortunately our week has been spent trying to contact the owners and would definitely not recommend .

This was perfect for what we required. The pool was very chilly despite record June temperatures, but we braved it and had fun. Rated 4 rather than 5 as some bits looked a little tired, this may be down to the way people treat it when staying there.Hot tub was a great addition to our break. Had a fab time, thank you.
