The day bed/ outdoor room were amazing and we spent most of our time there just relaxing even having the occasional accidental nap The negatives were that (as mentioned above) no air conditioning, the shower did have problems and the drain smelled but were fixed ASAP when I told the agency. The cook top did not work when we went to use it luckily we were able to borrow something to cook dinner with from family staying down the road. Overall the house is amazing. I believe we just had the issues pop up when we stayed? It would not stop me booking this place again. The ##### Hayden P.
