Wonderful house and location we had one of our best holidays
6 / 10Average·Aug 2019
This is a lovely property that has been allowed to go to seed. The first meal we prepared we discovered a serious lack of utensils and we had to wash everything before use, baking trays caked with burnt on grease the glassware was filthy covered in fingerprints and lipstick unfortunately it is difficult to find anything that was outstanding, apart from the showers, every one in our party thought they were great. The other thing that needs attention is the driveway up to the property the potholes need filling as some of them are really deep. Finally when this accommodation opened approximately 5 years ago it was probably a 5 star property, unfortunately it would struggle to attain 3 stars today.
