The owner had left a thoughtful package of wine and crisps which made us feel very welcome. There were some missing bedding and maintenance issues, but Naima was quickly on the case and very responsive. It is a beautiful property in wonderful surroundings. Our only suggestion for improvement is that the kitchen could have been better equipped - there was plenty of crockery, glasses, etc but absolutely no chopping boards, very little cookware, and nothing to make coffee in (and a very tiny teapot for a house for 10). However this didn't dampen our enjoyment and we would return again.
