Couldnât seat together as family and she had to seat on her bed most of the time. Other people did comment on the sofa but I thought that by now would have been replaced.

So for 7 days we had to either sit on the dining chairs or more likely, on each others bed,having conversations room ti room. Shame really but it shows the contempt in which the owner holds its paying customers. The rest of the home is irrelevant ,after finding a big fault within an hour of being in the accommodation,especially one in which the owner has known about for a long time, makes anything good irrelevant. I'm disappointed in myself for booking it,and wasting over £400, I simply assumed the problem would of been sorted as the replies by the owner said. I cannot recommend anyone books this to be honest because it's simply a money making enterprise for the owner where the customer is an irrelevance.

Had everything we needed. Only issue we had was that the sofa is very low and my mum struggled to get up once sheâd sat down. Would have liked to have had some WiFi connectivity and have been able to watch Netflixâs but didnât effect the stay.
