Mixed property,some areas updated( lovely bathroom) kitchen extremely small requiring usage of large kitchen cupboard to accommodate fridge/ freezer and microwave,all in need of an update as looking a bit shabby.Maybe need more cleaning hours here as some areas had cobwebs.Some kitchen utensils very unclean on arrival and required washing.Lovely views from front of property and in a nice quiet location.It was lovely to receive a box of goodies on arrival as we were staying for a week and very thoughtful.A beautiful area to stay in.
