The property was it a great location but could do with a good clean. There was a lot of dust and in places was dirty.

Electric toaster needs updating as does the microwave, cooker got very hot on the outside even the knobs were very hot to touch. Could be a hazard if young children in the property. Otherwise it was a lovely place to stay and we would do do again.
