Only problem was there was no power cable for the tv in the lounge and the fridge wobbled. En suite shower looked a bit grubby as grout could do other refreshing. Well equipped with everything needed.

On arrival, there were lots of areas that were not clean, marks on the cupboards and hairs in the bathrooms and bedrooms. After we tidied this up, it felt much more like the place we were so pleased with in October. There were a few areas that started to feel a bit dated. Usually places are upgraded, however since our last stay, areas of the decking were damaged, the hot tubs lid no longer had a frame attached (making it hard to get on and off) and the fridge leans forward due to weight in the door. Although these all seem fairly minor, it was something that we didnât experience the first time round and therefore it becomes more noticeable. I hope these things can be resolved as we loved our week away and would like to return, we were just a little disappointed!
