Tract
The only thing we noticed was that the floors were not as clean as the could of been, white socks soon become dirty from the floor and you could see crumbs/dirt under the sofa, bed and kitchen units etc where thing had been pulled out to clean. This would not stop me staying again or recommending it to somebody else but a little improvement that could be made

Very clean. Beds very comfortable. Views incredible.hot tub a fantastic bonus. Not as close to town as we thought but taxi to town and back were easy to obtain and cost between 6-8£ a time which was cheap between the four of us on our trip. We ordered a grocery shop on uber eats from local co op which was easy and quick. All of us enjoyed our stay. We had no issues at all.
