But on a positive note the bathroom and bedrooms were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the outside space and hot tub was great.

Beautiful place and accommodation.

It is a lovely property- lots of space, hot tub, equipment etc but unfortunately the place was dirty. I did just say to them that I had to run over the place as there were crumbs etc everywhere but the bathrooms were dirty and Iâm not sure they had been cleaned at all. The second bedroom had a false broken finger nail on the side and one of the single beds was covered in hair. The bathrooms were covered in dust, hair etc. when I went to hoover, it was so full that it was clear it wasnât able to pick anything up so I had to empty it. I couldnât get some of it out as it was so jammed. I donât feel like I should have had to do this on my holiday. I also had to wash pots and pans before use. However, it is a gorgeous place and I didnât let it spoil my holiday. Think the owners need to know that it is not being cleaned to a good standard and they are paying for this service. I would whole heartedly recommend this property and stay again if I knew it was cleaned properly.
