Every single thing we need was available and far more. A lovely bottle of wine on arrival and biscuits were such a kind gesture. The standard of cleanliness was impeccable and home comforts were certainly the owners priority. This place is perfect for couples and a dog. Parking space at the property wasnât an issue but neighbors big van and inconsiderate parking did make things very awkward when reversing out. Overall a great holiday home.
