    “We would have loved the property but were quite disappointed by the cleanliness of the property when we arrived.”

    I had to start cleaning the crockery & cutlery as some of the glasses had finger marks and lipstick marks on them and some bowls had food that had dried stuck to them.

The second set of stairs will lead you to two further bedrooms, comprising of a charming quadruple room, with three single beds, with light flooding in from the Velux windows, or find rest in the spacious double bedroom, with vibrant pink touches and a bathroom to serve these rooms as well.
