There are a few maintenance issues need looking at but didnât ruin the stay. We couldnât connect the tv in the hot tub area to WiFi. Emma had someone come over to fix a door handle and drop off an electric heater for the top single bedroom. The piano was a hit and the hot tub was enjoyed by all.
Julie
The kids loved the play area. The only downside was there were one or two maintenance issues but nothing that spoiled our holiday and I would certainly stay here again and recommend to others.
Yvonne
The hot tub and childrenâs play area were amazing and very much appreciated. One of the reasons we booked the house was because it had an electric car charger. Unfortunately this did not work, the owner said it would be fixed, it wasnât and although I chased it up they did not get back to us. We tried to charge in the area but there were no chargers available, which meant my daughter was not able to use her car as she had to conserve the battery until she could get to the services on the way home. Also it would be helpful to supply a hairdryer, if there was one we couldnât find it!
