    “The house was lovely and modern and we enjoyed our stay overall.”

    The location was great. The downsides were: We felt the camera use was a bit intrusive in the back yard near the bbq as could probably see into the lounge. There was an issue with the showers as the glass ledge above the showers keep disclosging and almost fell on our child. This needs to be checked and remedied to prevent an accident. The blind in the master bedroom did not open at all which needs fixing.
