Lovely peaceful area. The house was nice but the outdoor bbq area definitely needed a clean. The online check in process was somewhat difficult and stressful, communication was poor and when I asked to speak to a manager I was told none were available, this was 20mins before our check in.

The house was nice and the location is excellent. The property could do with some maintenance. The idea of sending through drivers licences of all occupants and copies of credit card was uncomfortable.
