Slightly disappointed with the appointment of the kitchen - platters required, more t-towels and dishcloths were needed.There were no pantry supplies - just felt meagreFor 7 guests staying 3 nights this all was rather disappointingThe property has a great locationThe driveway could do with some workThe rubbish bins had not been emptied - and were rather full and unpleasant
Everything was good. Only concern we had and I didn't give 5 star was the cleaning supplies or toilet rolls were very limited and was not enough for 2 days.

Liked: Cleanliness
Great communication from property management, the space worked well for our family (2 couples and 2 kids). The kitchen could use a few more things to help with cooking (i.e., measuring cups), but that's easily fixed. Would stay here again.
