The location of this place was great, it was on a nice quiet road, in a great location, close to everything, the facilities were great, and responses were rapid from the hosts, there are a few easy things they could do to make this place better.
Firstly, we stayed for 7 days & during this time, we had people walk into the garden on Tuesday (gardeners), Thursday or Friday(can't remember which day) (pool cleaner) Saturday (someone come to put something in the pool) & Monday before we checked out (gardeners) although the people that came out, were really friendly, we had no prior notice or wasn't mentioned in welcome pack etc, so it was quite alarming for them to just walk in, whilst in the pool area etc could also be an issue if you have small children, so just a mention of this would be good, or even put this into your welcome book.
Secondly, this is another simple fix, the master bedroom backs onto the back yard, and has patio windows, with only a translucent netting, so although it is private, you can't really sleep past 6am and the room is very bright as no curtains or blinds to block out the sunlight, which if you are on vacation, you do want to lie in. This is also an issue with people walking into the garden as mentioned earlier as you may be getting changed etc in the bedroom. A simple blind or curtain would easily fix this issue.
Finally, just a couple of picky fixes, the one living room window has the same translucent netting up, which is fine in the day as the road is very quiet but at night with the lights on, you can clearly see straight into the house, a simple blind will fix this issue, and they have blinds up the other living room windows, so unsure why they chose to not put one up this window. - On arrival, the house was very clean but there was a few ants around, so you have to ensure everything is kept clean, after a couple of days, however this wasn't an issue, as regular hoovering etc there wasn't many ants towards the end of the week.
Overall the place is great & with these few simple fixes, i would highly recommend staying at this location. Its great for families as there is loads of games tables etc & pool area is great. The issues mention above are more improvements than issues & shouldn't deter you from booking the place.
