Jan 25, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Beautiful location but disappointing stay Outside windows were stained and covered with cobwebs, gatden needs some trimming so you can enjoy the view. No wifi network at all. Cobwebs and spiders all through the inside and very dusty. Sticky surfaces. This place really needed a good clean. Location was beautiful and only took a small walk to get into town. We had booked for two nights but only atayed one. Definitely wish we had booked somewhere else. ##### Mel L.
