Fantastic property

Great house for a family getaway. Spacious living area. Kitchen is well set up for cooking. Be careful when entering the laundy area as the step down is quiet large and can catch up off guard.

Overall our stay was great.We bought food to cook over the weekend only to find 10 mins before we were ready to cook there was not one tray or baking dish for the oven-which when there were 8 people to feed was a problem.There were multiple small fry pans, considering there's 8 people in the house a few larger pans would have been great. A BBQ for such a large property would also be an asset.Thanks Trisch

Weekend for our wedding

We used this property as a getting ready venue for our bridal party - it was great. Well located, clean, plenty of space and bathrooms. Unfortunately we had no working wifi, reportedly due to recent storms, and I hope this has been resolved.

Review

Visually looks lovely with styling , very nice inside . Bed was very comfortable. Cleaning was average and found multiple things . Paying a 300 cleaning fee and given a list to clean before leaving including cleaning the fridge and freezer which the last occupants had not, dirty draws and pot lids with food , dirty blinds - was disappointing. I had been questioned on why staying and mentioned my family wedding and when we turned up the lawns were overgrown so no garden photography could be taken . Mould in the coffee machine lid and milk warmer , owner is obviously not aware that the cleaning standards are poor and the management aren’t checking either .
