  • Kate

    Thought they might have taken it on board - they haven’t. They clearly aren’t interested in spending any money on it so are happy for it to deteriorate further. Lovely location, just a shame that the property isn’t better looked after.

  • Maggie

    The house is perfectly equipped, we had a great time and would recommend the property

  • John

    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. Don’t be like is and wait 20+ years to book this! Thank you to the owners for sharing your lovely holiday home.
