The only problem was a 5 hour power disruption which meant we were stuck in the dark during the dinner period. No body informed us of the reason and we had to find the power company website to sort. Luckily we had a cold meal in our fridge, but 4pm, to 9 pm on a saturday night was a problem ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin 3 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Martin Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ---
