Property has everything you could need, ( oh apart from a frying pan, whick i thought odd). Garden space was amazing, our dogs appreciated it aswell, fully enclosed so nothing to worry about. Flies do become an issue in really hot weather, so take fly spray with you, im assuming its because were near open farm lands. 10 out of 10, and were hoping to return. Thankyou.

Just awful

Property difficult to find and when we did we were very disappointed. It had not been cleaned and after several calls to the owner, a cleaner arrived and left at 10pm, having skimmed over the cleaning at best. Owner promised a partial refund but no response or contact since. The outside areas were atrocious to the extent that we initially thought the area was derelict. Size of property was decent but obviously not cared for. No welcome of any kind and definitely not recommended.
