The walls were dirty and we found dirty cups under our bed in the lounge. We gave it one night then decided to leave. Heating did not warm up the room so the rooms are freezing in winter. If the property was cleaned properly and warm enough then it would be all good

Everything catered for our needs. Stayed here a few times. Lady in the office exceeded our needs by allowing us last minute to check in way earlier then allocated time for a fee but that was not a problem as we were in a bunder. So thank you Settlers for your assistance. A++

check in was poor, keys were not available at the property, needed to drive down the road to another and there was no staff attendance. Thank goodness my cellphone was available and even then there was limited knowledge about where the keys were kept. Vast improvement needed.

Couldn't get our vehicle out when everyone was parked in correct spaces. Had to go back down the road for check in and key return. Massive cobweb from window blind to chair. Broken spouting outside sounded like we were beside a waterfall all night. Bathroom door had a hole half fixed and vanity cupboard handles just pulled right off when trying to open looking for facecloths.

Property was fine but it was a bit of a nuisance to have to walk down the road to pick up and return key. If we had known about that in advance it would have been better.
