The attitude of the manager Mr Peter One was terrible, it seemed that because the Masters Games were on at the same time he could charge what he wanted for his "luxury accommodation".

Property apperance not bad. Attitude very poor.. Initially wouldn't take Visa although advertised he would. Records very bad Complained about dirty shower/ toilet block he said it was hard to find cleaners who would do toilets. Also badly maintained - he admitted it had been painted but paint didn't last.. WON'T BE BACK more
