What recent reviews say

The property offers a tranquil village setting with working kitchen and fishing, plus a pool split between kids and adults. Rooms are generally clean, though reviewers report strong pool chlorine, weak water pressure, musty odours, and slippery floors. CCTV coverage feels intrusive to some renters; late-night restrictions (wifi, pantry) and pillow surcharges frustrate guests planning longer stays.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
