It was quiet at night and the beds were comfortable. The house was well appointed, except for toilet paper. It would be helpful to have a better mirror in the second bath upstairs, the current one is small and mounted too high for the space. It was so helpful having a washing machine! Overall we really enjoyed our holiday!
Mark
Only suggestion would be to offer a slightly earlier check in and later check out.
Jayne
Really easy to get everywhere (as long as you have a car). Very clean.
