Amazing view!!

Great three level property that provided plenty of space for the kids and adults to spread out. The view is absolutely amazing and we enjoyed plenty of time and meals on the deck soaking it all up.

The house was very clean and well presented overall. Bedding linen was also of a good standard. Plenty of appliances and cutlery in the kitchen. So, everything we needed. Thank you.Need instructions for new bottle collections.A few things to fix - bedside lamp downstairs not working, toilet roll holder falls off plus tap at basin requires a washer, freezer door not closing as well as should, top en-suite hand towel needs tightening -all minor things.
