    I cannot fault this. Beautifully decorated, immaculate and has everything you need. We had a welcome pack and a lovely bottle of Prosecco. The hot tub was perfect. I will definitely come back. Thank you to the owners, great customer service and generosity.

  • Jane

    Everything you need is provided and the welcome Prosecco is a very nice touch. Well maintained and very clean and the hot tub under the stars is amazing. Could well be booking for a third time very soon.

    Unfortunately the bath plug did not work so could only take showers. It would be useful to have a brush to sweep the fallen leaves from the balcony.
