The property was perfect for what we needed. It was clean and tidy and we all had a good time away. Dealing with the owner was a breeze. Wasnt expecting the ensuite to main bedroom to be locked out of use, for our large group, that was tricky, so that is my only critique but otherwise would def recommend. Thanks.
