    "Great weekend in a cracking house!"

    Decor was ‘different’ - loved it, couldn’t live with it, but amazing for a weekend! It’s a newly refurbished home, so a few comments I hope the owners find helpful: General condition of the garden was a little poor and needs some attention. We expected basics like salt, pepper, oil, matches/lighter to be within the kitchen, so maybe these can be added. Dishwasher was broken, and a cupboard fell off a kitchen cabinet when we got there. Some lamps and lights not working. No response to several emails to confirm if a cot bed was available. The jacuzzi was not warm and therefore took a few hours until we could utilise.

    "Overall the Area and Place was really good and nice, The Property was Comfortable and The house was pretty clean!"

    We were really impressed and it showed how much care you put in the house. But The only concern we had was the fact there was no hot water after 11PM this was pretty annoying as we couldn’t take a Hot shower so that was the only thing i think you need to Improve on, but overall I think I really enjoyed it thanks.
