Where fireplaces and outdoor fire pits are advertised, they are only available in winter and subject to local fire restrictions; some properties provide a starter pack of firewood, while others do not, so guests must review their check-in details to confirm what is supplied and ensure fires are fully extinguished and the area left clean after use.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Ordinary
The surrounding garden and lawns were very unkept. Lovely comfortable beds and nice clean linen, the BBQ was not as clean as it could be, the house was very spacious but no ceiling fans or air conditioning ( two small fans didn’t cut it) the dishwasher was full of dirty water, the kitchen was well appointed with all that we needed. There weren’t towel rails in the very small ensuite. On a whole it was a long way from LYXURY as advertised
