Anna
The property itself had a very strong unpleasant smell on arrival, which lasted a couple of days. Perhaps the carpets had been washed?? Not sure. The house had a basic clean but there was a lot of spiders and webs around the house, rubbish under furniture that had not been seen and removed. The property looks like it needs some cosmetic work - it appears unloved inside. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. Hard as rock. The double bed is very unstable too. For those reasons we wouldnât return, however we didnât let it spoil our time there.

We did notify the owners who have said they will address these, and they offered to ask the cleaning company to return but we declined this offer. The location is fantastic, the kitchen was well equipped, and the beds were comfortable.
