Relaxing, short getaway

We had a great stay. The place was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. Dahlia responded to all our questions in a timely manner. The only downside was that for the time we were there, the hot tub was not functioning properly.

Mermaid Cottage

The TV was absolutely terrible. We are seniors and do not use apps to watch TV. We like cable TV. We pay enough for our stay and should get real TV(cable). Also, the tube is extremely high and the telephone shower must have 7 ft tall. Real problem reaching it. No bars to help getting in and out of the tub. That is dangerous so hop this helps for future renters.
