Summary
The accommodation was spacious, clean, and child-friendly, with lovely views and friendly neighbors. However, there were some concerns about odors in the downstairs area, limited supplies, and a dated bathroom. An issue with the main oven tripped the fuse. Overall, guests enjoyed their stay and expressed intent to return.
