Summary

The property offers a lovely location with spectacular views and a spacious, homely feel, ideal for families. However, feedback notes a small, cluttered kitchen and issues with outdoor rubbish. Additionally, some maintenance concerns like a mattress replacement and garden suitability for children were mentioned.
