Good.
Everything was really good. However a change of air-conditioners with a good split system is a good idea during winter months when its cold and raining. the heater options were poor. New Split system air-conditioners would be welcome at the property. otherwise everything else was really good.

Perfect house for a week. Well set up with space for everyone. Would have liked to be able to use the DVD players but they were not working while we were there. Comfortable beds meant we slept well.

Great place to stay with a large group!
The checkin process was very easy and communicating with Bev for any concerns was also simple. The house itself was very spacious and made entertaining easy. The kitchen was difficult to use (but not impossible). The shower water was also a hit or miss, either very hot or cold (but again was usable). Overall great stay
