"A mixed bag: positives: house was clean and the key lock and parking was convenient, and food and drink supplies very welcome. Negatives: our booking was changed fairly last minute from ā€œthe terraceā€ to a different house ā€œthe Mewsā€ for unknown reasons. (So my review is not for this listing, but for ā€œThe Mewsā€.) Although the house was on the same estate and also had 3 double bedrooms, one of the bedrooms was pretty small, and the original property had the master bedroom on its own top floor ,...
