Whilst I understand some of the previous comments regarding small maintenance issues (which are easily resolved), this did not detract from our overall experience. We would go back again.

The house itself is stunning, the pool was amazing which is the main reason we booked this property, and in a wonderful setting. It has so much potential to be truly special. That said, the property is very tired and really in need of some updating and care. The biggest issue for us was the cleanlinessâunfortunately, it was not up to standard when we arrived, which was disappointing. A deeper clean, some repairs to furniture or new, and a bit of attention to detail would make a huge difference to the experience. With a little investment and better housekeeping, this home could easily be a five-star stay. Would I stay again? Definitely! But I would love to see the place with some minor repairs, a lick of paint and some new furniture........ Infact, I think the owners could charge slightly more and would increase income with some small investment.

The house is beautiful and in a fantastic location the price is more than reasonable my only complaint was that when the upstairs bathroom like was in the fan kicks in and that fan is very noisy like it may be slightly seized which did wake people in the night, and some door handles were broken but all in all a fantastic property and I would book again
