Our review

It was a nice house plenty of room and tidy, there were a couple things that let us down. The property outside was untidy could have done with a mow as I couldn't play my outside activity I bought up and also the dishes were dirty in the cupboards I had to clean everyone I wanted to use. But otherwise nice wee house to stay in.
