Unfortunately when we arrived there had been a mix up and the property hadn't been cleaned after the previous people. However, after speaking to the owners (who were very apologetic) the cleaners were there within 40 minutes, were very nice and managed to get it sorted even with us under their feet. Although this was an inconvenience I was very appreciative of the prompt response to resolve it, also the m&s voucher as way of an apology was very welcomed. We had 4 children with us, the house was big enough to accomodate us and we all commented on the lovely comfy beds. Would have been lovely to be able to park and leave our car in the car park directly at the back of the property, however the pass provided for a different car park was not too far away. Would definitely recommend to others.
