The only problem was the shower up stairs, if u used it, water would come though the kitchen ceiling, so that bathroom was out of bounds all holiday, apart from that it was perfect

The heating in the property was very good apart from the sitting room where it was cold. Sadly there was no info on the property, appliances or location, restaurants etc. We found the sitting room to be uncomfortable The dining chairs has seen better days
