Fabulous accommodation and very well equipped throughout.Had a slight problem with the Wi-Fi on arrival but after contacting the owner who was very friendly it was promptly sorted out.Only slight problem was the very limited space at the entrance to the property but it didn’t detract from the overall experience.Having stayed in this customer’s property downstairs I have to say this was an excellent upgrade.Cannot recommend this property highly enough.
