There are a few things that could have improved. The master room when we arrived was full of at least 20 flys and quite a few a few dead ones on the floor. The room at the back left had black mold around the windows which would come off easily just needs a little bit of love. A few of the toilet roll holders a just about hanging on and one of the toilets is coming away from the wall. A few maintenance bits but over all the house is gorgeous and would stay again. Thank you for having us! PS. A few pint glasses wouldnât go a miss!

A really modern kitchen and living space, comfy spacious rooms and an amazing back garden + a hot tub that we loved! Just a few maintenance issues - the windows and entrances throughout the property are in need of repair and are quite dirty. BIRD POO covered the balconies and some areas around the house, making the balconies unusable - this was the biggest problem and really needs addressing. The birds actually live along the roof line around the house so there's a bed of poo under each nest, not nice at all. There was also no hot water in one of the showers. There was a musty smell throughout the house when we arrived, took a couple of days to get rid of and they had the wrong names on the welcome message, would've felt nice to see our own
