Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Not pet friendly. No gates to secure the property. Disappointed with the outside of the property. Inside very sparse, furniture and cutlery and crockery,. No breakfast provisions for the first couple of days. Definitely not what is portrayed in the advertisement of the property. Needs a fair bit of work to bring it up to standard. Lovely location. Close to amenities. Quiet. We managed ok.
