Very good

My family of 6 adults comfortably stayed at this beautiful home. The layout was spacious and view were spectacular! Armahn was very attentive to all my questions in booking and his caretaker Barry was very friendly and helpful! Would definitely stay again. One suggestion is to upgrade the knives in the kitchen (very dull); however overall everything was great!!

Das Anwesen vermittelt den Eindruck doch etwas in die Jahre gekommen zu sein. Die ein oder andere Renovierungsarbeit würde dem Anwesen gut tun. Auch die Sauberkeit von Bettlaken, Inlets und dergleichen liess deutlich zu wünschen übrig.
