What recent reviews say

Five-star guests praise the pool, wifi, and peaceful village atmosphere, with the owner responsive when contacted. One-star reviewers report mould on bedding, dirty pool water, dusty air filters, and poor cleaning throughout the property. Recent stays show a wider gap: some families had loveable stays, others found the place musty and unprepared despite booking the whole venue.
