Feb 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay Second time we have used this property and a great one it is! Always clean and tidy, in a great location as a nice walk into town. Only one downside and it’s happened both times we have stayed is the downstairs showers floods the bathroom, it’s been an easy fix as it caused by blocked drains outside so only suggestion from us it when cleaning the property just check the outside drains as the husband has managed to clean it both times ##### sarah K. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith B.
