Everything was finished and presented to a high standard. The only thing we struggled with was the induction hob. The rings didnât stay consistently hot and seemed to keep turning themselves off. Weâre not used to this type of hob and obviously didnât have the knack of operating it. It was the single, very minor, frustrating thing, everything else was perfect.

Six adult and two children have plenty of room to enjoy. The views are amazing from the rear of the property. The hot tub allows the views to be enjoyed also. The washing machine and tumble dryer are a great advantage, especially with young children. Oven has plenty of room to cook if you wish with six hobs, grill and two ovens. Local restaurants and shops are friendly and reasonably priced.
