House was fantastic, best view and great modern toilets and bathrooms. Heat pumps worked a treat especially in the early mornings/nights (although we didn't use these much given the not so cold weather). Property manager was so helpful even with all my questions and the check in and out process were super easy. ##### Amy K. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Alwyn J. 31 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Minor items needing attention very enjoyable stay and a lovely property. One or two things which need to be looked at. Large cobwebs on to upper louvres of the lounge, venetian blinds need dusting (not good for those with hay fever), toilet paper a bit sparse as we virtually ran out of it. The gas bottle on the barbeque was very low and ran out. These are not criticism's but just minor things to bring to your attention. Otherwise a very enjoyable stay.
