This little house ticked all the boxes for us un terms of affordability, comfort and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The spa pool was a hit!
The only downside was that the cleaners had arrived to clean 40 minutes after we had checked in. We realize this isnt the property owners fault butthneedchwehadhadwhictimecleets
Great location, enjoyed the hot spa. Would be great if shampoo, body wash and hair dryer provided.

Adequate
The house is nice enough but it doesn't really have what you need for an easy stay.
There was almost no toilet peper, not enough dish wash tablets, no dish cloth, no hairdryer.
The single bed has a very hard mattress that you can feel all the springs on. We had to sleep with a duvet under the bottom sheet.
Unfortunately during our stay several lightbulbs blew and when we called to have them replaced we were told an electrician was needed and couldn't come till after our stay. This meant no lights in one of the bedrooms at all.
Fantastic! Very clean. Had everything we needed. Very close to Crown Park, De Bretts and a short drive into town.
We would definitely stay here again. 😊
Thank you so much!
