"The accommodation was clean and tidy overall. However, there were several issues that affected our stay. The mirror was broken and had been taped up. The playroom was not as shown in the photos, and several of the items were broken or damaged. The garden chairs were also broken and not suitable for use. The internet connection in our room was very poor, which was also inconvenient during our stay. Overall, while the accommodation was clean, the condition of several facilities and the poor internet connection need improvement."
