The accommodation was good, plenty of room, cleaning of the property could be better. As commented by someone else, you have to bring everything with you, washing up liquid, sponges, cleaning cloths, to bin liners, these very simple items is something I would not necessarily have thought to bring with me, it would be a nice touch to have these hereRead more already. There is no welcome info, you have to ask for the Wifi, the hot tub is a nice touch, but the temperature was on cold side at 35 degrees. Hide
