4/10 Poor

There are more positive reviews about the property than mine so I recommend reading them all. The house is in an outstanding location. The natural surroundings are spectacular and the pool, when clean and functioning, is great. Bigger in fact than it looks on the pictures. The main flaw with the place is that water is drawn from a well by a pump which runs on electricity. When there is no electricity (we experienced three power cuts), there is no running water. The first power-cut lasted 24hrs and so we moved out for a day. The owner's view is that the storms that cause the power-cuts are out of his hands but buying a back-up generator is not. In the end we decided to leave four days early as there was more bad weather forecast. We were compensated for those days but not for the first. The place needs a good clean. The sofas and sofa beds are old and dusty and the pots & pans all needed a good clean before use.There is a 15-page guide for guests. P.13 introduces a section on the 'scourge of thieves' and suggests that you keep the doors to the house locked even while you are at the swimming pool. Consider the logistics of that if your 12-yr old daughter doesn't want to join you at the pool. Do you lock her in? Good luck exiting the steep ramp. You need to perform a three point turn at the top and will wheel spin if there is excess gravel on the drive. I spend an hour clearing it. There was one toilet roll provided, one bin bag and no candles or matches.
