The deck is as good as the pictures look. Spent pretty much 24/7 there.

Although the location and the outside deck of the property was very nice, we were a bit disappointed with the inside of the house. It smelled very muggy when we arrived, I guess due to the age of the house. It looked clean on the surface, but it definitely needs a bit of TLC, especially around the skirtings and the fireplace in the main bedroom, and overall dusting. It does however have a vast amount of crockery and cutlery, which was very handy over Christmas. We have however enjoyed our stay in Tea Gardens, but believe the photos of the house and reality inside are not exactly in line.
