Only downside was the lack of parking but we found some easily enough nearby.

Although the property looks good inside on first appearance, there were many unsatisfactory issues. The double bed was very uncomfortable it dips right down in the middle and makes a loud cracking noise when you get out sounding and feeling like the frame is broken (left with a bad back!) we had to clean round the property before settling in as the cleanliness was extremely poor. The bedrooms (both) smelt musty and damp, we couldn't use any of the storage - wardrobes and drawers as they smelt extremely damp/musty. The towels supplied for use were rock hard and smelly/musty. The patio doors from the main bedroom led to a disgustingly dirty courtyard which was unusable, which should be regularly cleaned. The front outside seating area was not practical as too much furniture in such a small area; also the seating cushions were left out/on so were wet/damp. We couldn't regulate the hot water in the shower; therefore got scolded more than once! There was no manual or information with regards to anything in the cottage ie how to use the heating system, how to dispose of rubbish etc and the bins allocated to the flat were all locked, we therefore put most of our rubbish into the local public bins on our way out.

The property itself is spacious and has everything you need for a nice holiday. Good Internet, spacious inside and outside on the balcony, modern decor, good smart TV in the lounge, comfy seating and beds, lots of storage, kitchen with everything you need including a large fridge freezer and washing machine. The check in and information was easy too which really makes a difference when you have traveled 7 hours in a car! We will hopefully book this place again next year, we had such a nice time.
