Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews frequently commend the property's cleanliness, with guests noting it was clean and well-maintained. One mention of a minor issue with a dishwasher containing broken glass suggests room for improvement, but overall, the high standard of cleanliness is evident.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views, proximity to walking routes, and ease of access to local amenities and public transport. Some guests found the property a bit tricky to find initially, especially in the dark, but this does not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback on location.
Guests describe the property as comfortable, with special mentions of the extra attention to detail and the provision of earplugs in bedrooms. However, some guests noted that the mattresses could be improved, and the seating in the living space was not sufficient for all guests, suggesting some areas for enhancement.
The facilities, including the hot tub and well-equipped kitchen, are generally praised. However, there are reports of minor maintenance issues such as dishwasher problems and a light in the en suite that could be startling at night. These small issues suggest that while facilities are good, there is room for maintenance improvements.
The thoughtfulness of the host is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the welcoming package and other considerate touches. While these gifts are warmly received, it is politely noted that such offerings are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Initially we struggled to work appliances as we didn't find any instructions for these, then after a couple of days found the oven instructions actually on the glass inside the oven door. Similarly there were 2 coffee machines & no instructions so we googled these as neither were working fully. We messaged the owner & a replacement part was ordered promptly for the milk wand. One of our party left a wallet in a bedside drawer with a considerable amount of cash in it. With great relief, his was returned immediately. I can't fault the service we received & the property really was first class.

A single one was provided and coffee pods which none of us liked. As coffee drinkers after breakfast we had to purchase one for our use.

Both lounge areas were very comfortable after making good use of walks and cycling nearby during the day. Movement sensors on ensuite bathroom lights were an issue as once in the shower the light would go out! With better mattresses fitted this could be a five star house (note single beds are best suited for children).
