    The whole house was warm and inviting as we arrived and was spotlessly clean. It was a definite wow factor as we walked in. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and the fact that they all had access to a bathroom was a bonus. The kitchen was well equipped and a great space for family meals. The hot tub was clean and ready to use on arrival. We would definitely recommend this to friends and family. However there were a few things that we noticed straight away, that need addressing for future visitors which they probably already know about, otherwise we would have given it 5 stars. We realise that it’s very popular and that there might not have been time to keep up with small maintenance jobs in between rentals. The microwave door cover kept popping up , it just needs some strong glue, we had to put a few strips of tape on it. There were no kitchen scissors, thats about the only utensil missing. The freezer had draw doors either missing or broken. The flush button in the downstairs bathroom was loose. The small tables in the living room were very unstable. The wicker garden set had no parasol and two of the chairs were unsafe as the seats had worn through. It is worth mentioning that none of the above affected how much we enjoyed your property.These are all things that can easily be put right but needed mentioning, as you have a wonderful property that can be worthy of 5 stars in the future.

    The long journey from California was well worth the effort.

    We enjoyed staying at such a beautifully renovated property. House had tea, coffee, sugar, dishwasher tabs, soap, bin bags etc which was a nice treat. Hot tub was lovely and warm, garden is a great size and the area is so quiet & peaceful. Thanks again for an amazing weekend - we will be back!
