It was so clean.The kitchen was really good with lots of quality crockery, cutlery and utensils. The lounge furniture was comfortable, and so were the beds with lovely linen and good sized towels. We would love to go again. Kate Hewlett

However, the kitchen floor was a little dirty (floor mop just moving dirt around and not cleaning). All the fronts and inside doors of the cupboards had finger prints from previous inhabitants. Although only a few items, I unloaded the previous inhabitants dishes. The washing machine rubber door seal was disgusting. It was thick with mould and gunk from numerous washes. Probably not been cleaned since the last time we were there. The bedding was not 100% cotton. For the amount paid for the week we should expect better quality bedding. Other than that we had a good holiday.
