Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bernard I. Aug 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Superb location, slightly offset by in house issues. Namely a shower where the hotwater has been reduced to such an extent that a proper wash is almost impossible. Light bulbs that need replacing & broken power points that need repair. ##### Bernard I.
