Week long work accommodation

We booked this accommodation for an electrical team of 4 for a week. The property had everything the team needed and more! Lisa's communication was incredibly prompt. We will definitely be booking again when we come down next :)

Workers Stay

Thank you so much for having our workers at the house, they absolutly loved the accomodation, including where it was situated, was perfect for them to be able to turn the music up in the evenings whilst relaxing to a cold beer after work. They all thoroughly enjoyed it! The only downfall was the 2 single beds, both workers woke with very sore backs from the beds. Other than that it was excellent, thank you!
