Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the spa pool couldn’t be used during your stay. Chlorine has now been topped up so it’s ready for future guests. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back again.

All in all it was a great property, we have stayed there before. Just a couple of things, the vacuum bag was extremely full and the vacuum stopped working, I looked everywhere for a replacement bag but could not find any, we have left the vacuum downstairs by the front door. Also the single bed in the downstairs bedroom was broken before we got there so we could not use it. With that said it is a great location for us and would stay there again.

Clean & tidy and plenty of room for eight of us
Clean & tidy and plenty of room for eight of us. Maybe lacked lounge seating for that number. Waste disposal not working and a few of the taps are about to give up but they were minor points in an overall great stay.
