Cannot fault this accommodation but on arrival the house had not been cleaned from the previous visitors who had left it clean but the bedding, towels etc were used. We eventually got through to the agents by phone who arranged for the Cleaners to come within an hour. We were told by the Cleaners we would receive a Cheque but have not!
