Lovely location. A few slight improvements would make this an excellent place to stay. Mattress become wet on the wall side due to condensation, lots of dust and cobwebs under the bed and down the side of the bed. Kitchen had some excellent features such as hob and microwave. It is let down with plates, pots and cutlery just dropped into baskets. Kitchen doors need a little attention. We struggled with the hot tub lid because the lift/arm was broken. .the shower tap was very tight so would not cool down. We rang to ask for help with this and within minutes someone came to loosen it. Fantastic response. He said it can get very tight. Maybe, fix the problem so this stops happening. Overall an enjoyable stay, just be aware of the improvements needed.

There was no where to sit or stand with a cover when it's raining outside.
