"Very pleased with the property. Our stay was brief, just needed a place for the night, so cannot comment on facilities or local area. We would have liked details of accessing the property a little sooner - we had to message to request them. Locating the key box was not quite as obvious as stated! But perfect for our needs. Thank you. "
