What a fantastic property, very well equipped. My compliments to the cleaners. An excellent place for us to visit a part of the country that we haven’t visited previously. Two small adverse comments, our double bed was a bit lumpy and could benefit from either a topper or new mattress, also the tv had a blue tint that we couldn’t get rid of, mind you we didn’t have much time to watch it.
