    Downstairs the dust was a bit thick, especially around tv and behind the sofa. Upstairs toilet didn't look clean. After cleaning the bath, we tried to give a bath to our baby, but the hot water on either taps in the bathroom was a shade of yellowish orange, so we couldn't. Cold water seemd ok.

    The maisonette looked good and had everything someone needs for a self-catering stay. The sofa was clean and upstairs the beds were ok, linen was crisp, towels were clean. Good size smart tv downstairs too. Also, we travelled with a baby and the travel cot provided and the high chair were suitable and clean too.

    Could have done with a little bit more attention to detail with the housekeeping as we found some ‘leftovers’ from the last guests when we arrived which we disposed of ourselves.

    Essentially a two bedroom house with nice spacious bedrooms and a good size open plan kitchen/living area. I can’t imagine finding anything better value for money in the area. Well equipped (having a washing machine was a massive bonus for us!) and the location was nice and quiet. Would definitely recommend. Customer service and communication was also very good leading up to our stay.

    The property wasn't entirely clean when we arrived - the fridge needed to be wiped internally and their were socks in one of the bedroom drawers along with some good under the bed in the twin room. The property was quite warm and the heaters were difficult to control. We ended up switching them off. Would have been nice to have a bigger bed in the double room.

    Property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Location was good and quiet as it was out of season. The kitchen was well equipped to cook our own meals

    The double bed was on the small side, as was the TV in the bedroom. There were maintenance issues that need to be addressed, which have been communicated to the management team.

    The property was spacious for two of us and was clean and smart. The facilities were excellent. I particularly appreciated the off street parking space.

    Stay was beautiful with a cute balcony and the backyard. Place was kept clean.
