Beaut location. Beds very hard, coffee pod machine would have been great. Tv didn’t hook up to wifi and remote for tv in spare room needs new batteries.

The property was very roomy but could do with a face lift. Carpet is very stained.
My family and I had a great time. The property suited us well. Although in saying that the furniture was a little outdated and carpet is very stained. Kitchen sink also needs replacing.
