The house was a great size and pleasantly quirky but was let down by the lack of cleaning. I don't think it had been cleaned between stays apart from maybe a vacuum. Also the bbq was not usable.

Great location, amenities need updating

The house is good and solid, a little hard to find if you’re not familiar with the street.Log fire is amazing and very warm but it would have been nice to have matches and a bit of paper to help start it.A little over priced for what you get.

Disappointing

Location of property was good.I don’t normally complain about properties we stay in but this one was shocking.Cleanliness was disgusting.Oven trays in oven hadn’t been cleaned from last guests, mouse poo in kitchen cupboard. A loaf of bread in store cupboard was mouldy from previous guests. Frypans were disgusting rust and Teflon coming off.BBQ not cleaned. Mouldy windows all downstairs. Items were left in the fridge an insulin pen.Whoever cleans this house should not have a job there it has made me wonder if a cleaner actually cleaned it from the last guests.Will not stay there again.

Pleasant and enjoyment with one little hiccup.

The property is located in a prime spot with a view, close to town and is very nice on the inside. The only thing wrong was we had was no hot water for the first night but the property manager called someone in straight away to fix it. Turns out the hot water cylinder got turned off by accident. Overall we really enjoyed our stayed and would gladly come back.

perfect for large groups and we could see it could sleep up to 16 people. Needs better signage. Both the caterer and our group struggled to find 28! Would recommend to others.
