"The property is fabulous and really comfortable for large groups Could really do with a new bbq as the one they have is dirty and rusty and only one burner was going. Could also do with a quick “how to” for the hob as it wasn’t easy to operate Some minor updates and this house would be a full 5 star accommodation as it truly is special"
