Beautiful location, really nice facilities. Beware there’s no mobile phone signal at the property, so make sure you do all your pre-checkin tasks before you arrive! Would definitely stay again.

Upon our arrival there had been a flood in the kitchen loads of water squelching under foot , the fridge was dirty and the freezer was unusable due to it being a complete block of ice due to the door not closing properly, we had to wash up the plates and pans as they were filthy with food on them., the pans looked to have been used to boil veg and then just shoved back in the cupboards, the shower goes cold after about 3 mins .....The property would be great if only it was cleaned and maintenance was carried out.. the location is perfect tho... and they charge £60 cleaning fee but we had to wash up before we used things... its a shame i cant add photos here so I'll add them to host & stay online listing so if you want to see them look on there... would i stay here again .. nope.

Location was great unfortunately the shower was dirty and didn’t drain properly, freezer was frosted over upon arrival and thawing into fridge compartment, and microwave didn’t work properly. Reported problems on first full day of multi day stay and though my concerns were acknowledged nothing was done about it.
