The place is comfortable and clean, especially the bathrooms. The kitchen needs to be stocked with decent ladles and serving spoons. A couple of decent smallish size pots to cook. The kitchen floor still needs fixing. This did not bother us much. Over all the house is in a good location and if the above things are fixed, I might visit the place again.

However when you go in it looked fine. Then you start to see things there is a large crack in the floor and the flooring is split. The draw on the washing machine was black inside, the settees are broken, and the bbq you could use if you untangle it from weeds, the balcony needs mending and the curtains are hanging off the rails. The hot tub you could use if you don't mind going through the stinging nettles. Apart from that it was ok. We didn't spend much time their. Also we have stayed at other places and there was a folder with information in it like nearest Dr's, hospital, local shops, places to visit and eat.
