Pricey
When we looked at this booking it was for 315 per night. Didnt realise it had gone up to 371 when i booked. I would never book a place that expensive. I know we booked it quite late but i dont know why the price jumped like that. I believe a part refund is in order. The place was nice but not worth the price. A bit shocked actually and have used book a bach brfore and been really hapoy. Next time i book i eill screenshot the advert.
