And there general reception isn’t helpful for issues around the lodging - you need to phone the host. Better instructions and clearer code would avoid having to call the host. Albeit, she was very helpful and didn’t sound irritated on our second call. Inside of property was lovely and clean. Like some others have said, the decking ...

    Good condition and semi private positioning made hot tub a real bonus. Cost for swimming access is per stay so too expensive for a couple of nights. And there general reception isn’t helpful for issues around the lodging - you need to phone the host. Better instructions and clearer code would avoid having to call the host. Albeit, she was very helpful and didn’t sound irritated on our second call. Inside of property was lovely and clean. Like some others have said, the decking would benefit from clearing from moss and a tidy up. And maybe a couple of overhanging branches pruned back. Also, could do with one big saucepan for room of 6.
