The accommodation’s location is excellent, the amenities in the village great; but, unfortunately, the flat is lacking tlc, and in need of a refurbishment in our opinion. We reported the dreadful state of the frying pan to the owner, but nothing was done about it. Also, no instructions were provided regarding waste disposal.

A lovely property and a beautiful location. A couple of things that could be improved upon: first, the property wasn't quite as clean as we'd have hoped, with a fair amount of dog hair present. Many items of furniture were broken and in need of repair, a window had a cracked pane of glas and a wardrobe door wasn't attached by its hinges, which was potentially dangerous with small children. Second, communication was slightly stymied because the property is managed by a separate company, but they ask you to get in touch with the owner if you have queries. The isue initially for us was that the owner/local contact was abroad and not immediately contactable. Overall we loved our stay and really enjoyed the property and the amazing location. We were able to liaise with the local contact and they helped to make our stay very pleasant.
