It's extremely comfortable and spacious with beautiful views and close to essential amenities. On arrival, the house was clean and it was unbelievably helpful to have washing up liquid, a tea towel and sponge. We had brought our teabags, sugar and milk, however there is a lovely little box with pouches in if needed. N.B last year everything was great, but this year we had issues with the downstairs shower drainage. We had to keep our showers very short as the water did not drain quick enough and was at risk of overflowing after 5 minutes. Not a criticism (we've already booked for next year) but just to maybe get it looked at. We tried to run water through the outside drain and cleared muck that gets stuck in there, but that didn't help.

The house was spacious and well furnished. It felt cosy and comfortable. It would have even better impressions if the porch was bit more clean and free from some cobwebs. We had some issues with the main key on second day but the owner on the phone was very nice and helpful. Also it would be better if more bigger size pots and pans were provided as we struggled with the ones those were there. Overall we had very pleasant stay in the property.
