We tried everything to get them out but had to barge into the room to get them as they were seriously distressed. The owner then accused us of breaking the door maliciously (even though she said this has happened before!) and just took our deposit. She has not responded to our follow ups, and has made slanderous charges straight to bookabach calling us all sorts of things to justify withholding our deposit. We are a simple low-key family group catching up with elderly parents who wanted to save our kids who were permanently deadbolted in the room. This is not fair and I wouldn't recommend dealing with this landlord, Ash, at all. Stay away. ##### Joanne G.

Lots of books and toys that the kids spent themselves occupied with. Great location right on the beach, was so lovely to be a stones throw away with all the kids different nap times. The house did get SUPER hot though so would recommend taking lots of decent fans as it was hard to put the kids down at 7pm in the sweltering summer heat. The thermal spa worked a treat when it rained one day during our stay and was easy to use. 4 showers and toilets meant we didnt have to wait hours for everyone to get ready so was awesome to have our own bathrooms. Water pressure on top floor was almost non existent when the other showers were going (not a surprise though for an older house and certainly not a major!). Very friendly owners and great to deal with. We would definitely return after this great experience! ##### alex t. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2022 ---
