Beds were comfortable and room clean.Not quite enough towels, tea towel etc. a few towels were old with holes and stains.Only 1 Tv in the lounge and the TV Picture was bad.Hole in the floor covered with MattAnts over run in the bathroom, had to clean it after every shower, they cleared up after we sprayed on the 2nd day.Great size house for large group but the everything is dated and in average condition. It does have a beautifully renovated bathroom ruined by colony of ants that live in there.Laundry facilities were fabulous, modern washer and dryer. Kitchen was good, nice big fridge and freezer. ##### Nadia M.

Minimal other cutlery and no fishslice to name a few. And the vacuum cleaner barely works, and hence the carpets are very dirty. With a good clean up and stock up the place would be awesome. And only getting access info on the day of arrival was a bit stressful. ##### jenni b.
