Great location
This property was very peaceful and had beautiful views. The decor was lovely however, unfortunately there were a few things still waiting to be fixed at the property which let it down. There is no number on the letterbox and we arrived late at night and had a lot of trouble finding it. I had to dust down cobwebs from ceilings above beds and clean mugs before we could use them. The couch had a lot of sand between the cushions and was not very comfortable. The master bed was extremely soft which we found uncomfortable. Couches had broken legs. This property has so much potential with just a little bit more tlc
