This house has a great location and was good value for money. However, it does look like a house that has long been a holiday let. Some of the furniture is stained and the wallpaper is bubbling in places. I was also woken at 2:30am by a faulty fire alarm. The view is amazing, the location is great but theres room for improvement in the house. Id recommend to a family more focused on practicality and economy than luxury. Id give 7/10 if I could.

Beautiful spot with excellent views. Building could do with a little TLC, but no complaints here, we had a fabulous time!
