Location worked well for us, but thought it was overpriced for the service recieved
Pros:

Location was good for visiting friends. It was clean with comfortable beds and a nice garden area to sit outside.

Cons:

Only a short period for going down for breakfast. Lady asked us if we wanted eggs for breakfast and we choose scrambled. She then said that there was only 3 eggs and that 1 had already been ordered! Ended up with 2 scrambled eggs between the 2 if us, which was very strange.
The net curtain in the bedroom had a large hole in it and the wardrobe door had one knob for opening it and the other door had a large screw with a piece of blue tape over it. Not very good for the prices charged!

Not good
Pros:

There was nothing I liked, problems from previous reviews had not been fixed, it was not a good stay at all, and I won't be back, I very rarely give bad reviews and can tolerate most things, but this was beyond that.

Cons:

It would take to long, but couldn't wait to leave
