The accommodation was perfect for our stay. Very clean, tidy and comfortable. Nicely upgraded bathroom with quality towels and modern fully equipped kitchen. The bedrooms were very clean with quality linen provided. Two interior living areas provided enough space for everyone. The back deck is amazing and overlooks a beautiful pool with furnishings. Views out the back to trees and hillsides was nice. Quiet street close to the beech and shopping village. We will stay again.
