Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A lovely house but not infant friendly The property is nice, warm and well positioned. The beds are very soft, just be aware of this in case this doesn’t suit you. There’s isn’t a spa and the pool was unusable. For infants this is not a good property because there are no bath mats, cot options or high chair. We did enjoy our stay. For an older family or group this would be perfect. ##### Lauren H.
