We stayed in very similar property a week before which was about 180 cheaper. This had hot chocolate sachets and bottles of shower gel and shampoo/conditioner which were more useful (and less packaging) than the sachets provided here. Having the diffuser on the hairdryer was excellent for my curly hair. Decor was pretty and cosy.
The listing stated that amenities included a washer/dryer however we could not find it anywhere in the house. Otherwise, it was a beautiful place and we enjoyed our stay.
