In need of a good clean and decorating, some black mould in bathroom and fridge seal, enough that the toilet seat broke in half and I replaced at own cost. internet speed is poor 2-3mbps at best. 4x4 car recommended to get up the drive.

Beautiful property and location. Was a musky smell but was clean on the inside. Would have made world of difference if outside was better kept, lots of leaves cobwebs etc in seating area. Has everything you needed in the kitchen, although very small freezer. Beautiful private location great distance from local towns etc. a little difficult to find and very steep hill where signage is to property but there is another road that goes up to the back drive. Upon arrival hot tub was not ready and had not been cleaned between visits but fresh escapes were very easy to contact and helpful, we did it ourselves but the pool guy was there first thing to check and test the hot tub. ##### Lillie West Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Katie R. 31 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely property Overall, we had a relatively seamless and happy stay at this house and enjoyed our time on the south coast. The house is beautifully furnished, if a little tired in places. We had an issue with the hot water on arrival but the property managing company were efficient and communicative and the problem was quickly resolved. Unfortunately, this did leave us to discover that the security camera that is positioned over the patio and hot tub was streaming to a laptop inside the locked boiler cabinet. We can understand why a security camera may be necessary but we were disappointed that this was not clearly stated in the booking information, as is required by Vrbo’s advertising standards. ##### Katie R.
