Thought they might have taken it on board - they havenât. They clearly arenât interested in spending any money on it so are happy for it to deteriorate further. Lovely location, just a shame that the property isnât better looked after.

We can completely recommend this property, it really exceeded our expectations, there is no smell or intrusion from the service station, the garden is lovely & private. We loved the fact you could tell it was a well loved family property, really comfortable and welcoming, we have stayed in many properties better equipped/specced but this was our favourite stay in Rock. It is so convenient for dog walks/shops/enjoying the local area. Donât be like is and wait 20+ years to book this! Thank you to the owners for sharing your lovely holiday home.
