Lovely place, owner very friendly, unfortunately the freezer door was broken A lot of the plates were chipped, the shower in the en suite kept dripping Found a champagne glass that was cracked, the outside bbq was unusableAlso my friend had a allergic reaction which she thought could be the feathers in the cushions that kept coming out.
