A lovely home with everything that we expected and more. Lots of books there to look through and games to play. The encl
Positive: Amazing views down to the lake and over town. Everything we needed was there and loved the outdoor enclosed area at the back.
Negative: Nothing, the property was perfect for our stay

Pleasant comfy stay, but would not recommend.
Positive: Location was fine with a view. Overall property was clean and comfy.
Good Parking
Negative: The Driveway was tricky. to get around.
The BBQ was dirty and hadn't been cleaned - would not use it in the state it was.
The oven was dodgy and difficult to use with the buttons faded and no instructions for the oven part.
Only one small sharp knife. Top toilet bowl not clean.
When windy the partly broken roof of an outside area looked like it was going to brake off and blow away.
Dead plants on the outside patio area. Overall property was tired and for the money we paid we expected more.
We would have preferred an information folder in the property to read ie:- on what to do with the rubbish etc, not having to look up the App all the time. But there was very little information there anyway.
As for asking for more money for an early check in or later check out was absolutely dreadful, given what we paid.
