Excellent property in a prime spot with great views. Very clean and tidy.Had a great week staying there and apart from having to clean the oven before we could use it and the low settees everything else was tip top.You can see the work in progress outside and hopefully they will replace the fencing around the decking which you have to be careful not to get any splinters.Overall a great place to stay and will definitely be booking again soon.
