Great location!
Fantastic location, nice home although has not had a decent clean for a very long time. Hair found on the couch when we first arrived. Basic cleaning would go a fair distance in making this stay a lot better. Quite disappointing as it would be an overall great place. Also not having an account on Netflix to watch movies ect should also be included in price as so many holiday destinations have this as standard.
