Very good

Great property - good facilities. Some oddities such as no cafetiere in the kitchen and a no frying pan either (we don't think). Also a bit peeved at the strict recycling requirements and the threat of a £30 fine if we didn't do it properly - odd. Communication with the owners was good though they didn't have the property ready dead on time. All these are relatively minor quibbles though.
