The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Accommodation in a great location, lovely and clean. Nice furnishings, very comfy beds, couch not overly comfortable but does the job. Linen clean and fresh. Great kitchen supplies for cooking. Had one towel each for our stay, for 5 days could have done with a spare towel each. Only other thing was trundle bed had to chase linen for, would have been great if all made up. But sorted very quickly with a couple of emails! ##### A guest from , This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### A guest from , 9 Aug 2023 #### They dont have a great and reliable customee service Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful.
