Arrived at the property and first impressions, the windows in the living room weren't very clean. That was a bit of a let down trying to look out at the mountain views through grubby windows.Me and my three girls slept in the room above the kitchen which was a bit of a novelty being up a ladder in the roof space which was cool. The house itself, a bit outdated but had everything we needed and for what we paid, it was okay. A bit disappointed that the tele had no remote to watch anything but luckily the kids had puzzles and toys to amuse themselves while we were at home. Yep, nice little home but the cleaning could have been better. That's what happens I guess when you leave it to those that rent the place. Not all peoples cleaning standards are the same.
