lovely home to stay

Being given the wrong code for the lock box tried calling the number we were given got recorded message then hung up on us leaving us thinking. Lucky we know the owner of the property we called them and got the code off them. The kitchen extractor fan smelled of fan the vents need to be clean. It is a lovely home.

Great place for weekend getaway

Lovely location and property. Only area that I suggest improvement is property manager wanted to meet us during our stay with no apparent reason. We were busy but it did ass unnecessary pressure. When you go away you don’t really want to have to meet anyone or feel obliged to do so. Some of the communication felt a bit tense but difficult to read due to text / emailing.
