A problem with an outside door lock was sorted within 30 minuites of reporting it, and our only minor grumble was the lack of proper breadknife and no safety mat in the bath neither of which we contacted the agents about.

Lovely and spacious in a great location with great views. The only thing that let it down for us was the double bed - we found the mattress very hard and uncomfortable which was a shame as we were staying 5 nights. But if this was replaced I wouldn't hesitate to return again.
