I love the views and the tranquility of the place. Because Iâve been a few times I have realised that the cleaning staff must have changed. There was always hand wash, toilet rolls, bin bags washing up liquid left for us to start us off. When we arrived there was no hand wash, no bin bags or washing up liquid left for us. And because Iâve been before I wasnât prepared. Those little extras left by your previous cleaner were a god send when your arriving with 5 grandchildren. I have booked again as I love the property and I wonât be caught off guard next time, with the little extras. Thank you to the property owner for sharing this amazing property with us. See you again next time

Unfortunately the lounge smelt quite badly of dogs and not having one ourselves we it was quite noticeable. We had to move a large rug out of the room, mop the floor and spray the soft furnishings with fabrez. The downstairs twin bedroom also had an unpleasant odour.
