Great holiday

Nice location. Very narrow road to property. As it is a 10 person let a four piece toaster would be helpful. Problems with door to dishwasher. But overall a nice property

Location was perfect to be away from the cities yet close enough to get to shopping & food. Plenty of attractions & hiking within short drives. Facility has all needs covered with beds to cover all. Highly recommend it to those not interested in city/hotel type lodging

Very Happy and a lovely base to explore from.

Cottage is lovely and easy to find the local village is walkable and has everything you would want with shops and great restaurants (reasonable prices too) the only small thing we would suggest they improve is the lighting in the kitchen which is really insufficient if you want to cook in the evening.

6/10 Okay

Not suitable for young children

The property owner needs to address the following issues; Damp across the property and mould in the bedrooms. Broken cabinetry in the kitchen which is both unsightly and dangerous with young children Upgrade the beds in two of the bedrooms. It is unacceptable to advertise a property as modern and luxurious with broken bunk beds and grimey couches. Too much wear and tear for a seemingly luxurious property.

Perfect with kids

This house is set up perfectly for adults traveling with their school aged kids. Separate lounges with multiple doors in between allow for privacy and quiet. The only slight discomfort is the heat pump/sump pump that runs often but at uneven intervals. You soon learn to tune it out, but it can be distracting at first. Beautiful and comfortable home.
