Response from VrboOwner on 21 August 2025
Hi Graham,
Thank you for your kind review! I do apologise again that the signal & therefore Wi-Fi was low during your stay, it was a temporary area wide issue out of our control. I’ve since tested it and it’s back to the right level of speed so hopefully if you revisit, it should be a better experience.
Best wishes!
