The views were stunning . The property had everything you need for your stay . The down side is the property could do with a little updating as some things are looking a bit worn ie the bathrooms and some of the furniture but overall would stay again.

Some maintenance issues need to be dealt with here and there but itâs a great house bar the beds. Neither en-suite has a king sized bed and in fact the double and singles are particularly tiny. Those need some consideration.
