The house was relatively clean with clean sheets in the beds. We stayed for 5 nights as a family of 8 and it was roomy enough for the whole family. Th reqson for the poor score is a few. Dishes and kitchen utilities were not clean on arrival. The rubbish bins were also full and had not been collected until the day of departure. Also hot water was never enough for the family to have showers, hence could not use the dishwasher or washing machine with any hot water. We had to clean the washing machine in arrival as there was built up powdered dishwashing powder inside andthe machine wouldnt work as a result. Overall, could have been a much more enjoyable stay if the above were fixed. ##### Ali Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sherree w.
