Guest Reviews

Alistair
Please be aware that the owner requires a 300 euro deposit on arrival. This covers energy costs but the owner also levied a charge for the bank payment refunded to us as he is located abroad! There was also a charge made for a frayed cord on a blind which was clearly wear and tear. This behaviour leaves a bad taste to what was a lovely holiday and I would encourage all holidaymakers to simply accept that the cost of the cottage is 300 euros more expensive than the listed price.

Very nice cottage in a perfect location!
