    From beginning until the end. :) Our workers who have stayed here were really happy and enjoyed their stay. We will certainly come back!

  • Chris

    Had pretty much everything we needed in the kitchen and it was a comfortable stay. Kitchen appliances feel a little aged, but everything working as should be. House was extremely warm throughout, and we had no issues staying cosy in the autumn/ winter. Thanks for a nice stay in this beautiful part of the world!

    Although a couple of repair people came by and one got the system working the day after we arrived, by the morning it was not working again. The first maintenance person left us with three portable heaters, which helped a lot. I had no shower for four days. The owners offered us a refund of 100 UK, but we have not received this yet. We found the directions for the appliances difficult to follow and really did not want to read a manual to use the microwave or washer/dryer. Index card instructions would have been great. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay in this wonderful spot. Sally
