  • "Location of property very good."

    It was comfortable and clean. During our stay there were a few issues which were unsatisfactory these included: 1. The Tv stations were problematic throughout our stay. 2.There was mouldy bread and pastry left in the cupboard from a previous visitor which we had to dispose of. 3. A Wire rack on the fridge door fell off.

    Hi. Thank you for your honest review. We appreciate this as we are getting up and running with our house. We will address all the highlighted points to get them sorted. Thanks again. J&S Property Owner
