The house was clean and furnished to a very high standard. Loads of room for everyone to have there own space and be altogether . Would definitely recommend this property.

People mainly appeared to have their backs up because they has been accused by the owner of damage and breakage, late checkout etc. HOWEVER, we were a group of 16 and we were absolutely bowled over by this incredible house. It was super clean, the bedrooms were gorgeous, the facilities were incredible - an outdoor TV by the hot tub, I mean the details had been so clearly thought out. I communicated with the owner and she was lovely. We enjoyed every aspect of the house, relaxed, listened to music, cooked, and enjoyed ourselves - but we were also really aware of following all the checkout rules to the T. As such we had no issues at all upon checkout and would very highly recommend this place to anyone else. Be willing to follow the rules, and you would be hard pressed top find a better place to stay.
