Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Shane H. 30 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Beautifully clean and appointed, if a little over the top with nick nacks on every available surface. Make absolutely sure you have the door entry code and wifi code before you arrive - there's no mobile signal at all there and we had some stressful moments trying to gain entry in the late afternoon. Wifi pretty much only works in the living room, where it mainly powers the very unusual streaming TV setup. Coffee machine takes some figuring out. Lovely walks nearby, through the old burial ground and up to the reservoir. All in all it was better than we expected although an extra c.20% for a cleaning fee seemed excessive. Drive carefully on the way there, winding narrow roads. ##### Shane H. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025
