Perfect Property

House is great, very high quality fittings, appliances etc. The bedding and towels were gorgeous and everything looked new and flawless.The bedrooms are a decent size and all en-suite. Entertaining space is large and very comfortable. Barbecue area also very good - my only suggest would be to install a parasol.Hot tub was spotless.Vicky and Pam were very helpful.
