"The property was warm, sunny, modern, clean and had a really well equipped kitchen. We loved the spacious living areas. The beds were really comfortable andd there was extra bedding supplied which was needed for the cooler nights we had. The bathrooms were clean and modern with good showers and no shortage of hot water. The only thing we would have liked in the upstairs bathroom was a small bin so we didn't have to run back downstairs with bits of rubbish.All in all it was a wonderful place to stay."
