Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas 21 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We loved our stay overall, however there was a few small issues that could've been improved: 1) A gardener visited during the day of one of our stays to mow the lawns. Luckily we were leaving the property so it didn't interupt our stay, but had it been the day before when we had a family BBQ planned, it would've been awkward to ask him to come back another time. 2) Pillows in the bedrooms had a slight musty smell, probably from not drying properly when being washed. 3) Smoke alarm went off downstairs and it was difficult to stop (given ceiling height). I eventually was able to get to it through the louvers from the bedroom and disabled it and left it on the dining table downstairs (it might need a battery change). ##### Nicholas Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katrina B. 8 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet escape Great place to stay!

The two separate floors, were ample in size, identical amenities, ensuring the separate family members had everything they needed for their children. Upstairs living is large, you can fit 10 around the dining table which was perfect. Beach so close, with the second one 5 minute drive away. Fully enclosed yard for the little ones, with a lovely garden and soft grass to run on. Plenty of books, games etc. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time. ##### MARGARET D.
