There were no instructions about how to use the hot water (Qooker ) tap – that would have been helpful. Twin beds were made up as a super King and not two twins. Everything else was great, a really nice spacious house, very well kitted out in terms of kitchen utensils, plenty of seating for all...

The property was lovely and in a fabulous location. However we felt that it needed some TLC. Perhaps this is because we are near the end of the year but I think it’s worth mentioning. Also the windows looked as though they had not been cleared for a long time.
