Love everything about the place and love the refurb since we last visited in 2021. The furniture in the living space is much better!
Just a note to say a couple of the dishes weren’t totally clean in the cupboard. Not a big deal but worth mentioning. Also could do with tumbler style glasses as only wine glasses or pint size glasses.
Property lovely central, all settled when we got a knock at door another family saying they were booked!! So you can imagine absolute panic!!the property cd do with wardrobes to put clothes in, overall lovely
