Lovely place but.....
The area is stunning; the property has one door leading out to the square, the other takes you out to the riverbank. It really is stunning.
The actual garden of the property is lovely with mature trees providing shade and colour. The swimming pool is very nice and a good size for families. However! Although advertised as heated, the pool is not! The equipment is there but the readout on the digital controller said 'off'! This meant the pool was always very cold and not at all enjoyable for most of our party. The owner left instructions on how to clean the pool filters and the pool itself. However there was a a large clump of bamboo which constantly dumped dried leaves and little spikes into the water and surrounding areas. This necessitated cleaning the pool and filters every day; not good on a holiday! My granddaughter got one of the spikes in her eye; very painful until I managed to remove it.
The house is ok. It's not very well equipped; the oven was grubby and didn't light properly. Having said that, it's still a lovely place to be. It's also ridiculously cheap for such a large house. We had twelve people staying without any problems.
If the pool issues were resolved, it would be perfect; there's a lovely cafe and shop right outside the side entrance and plenty of parking. The surroundings are really stunning and for that price it's well eorth a visit.
