  : The house is large and cool away from the outside heat. The pool is large and has sun most of the day. Its also got safety gates around it, which was brilliant for us as we didnt need to worry about our dog. In fact, the whole large garden is bordered by a secure fence so there we left our dog free to roam around as he wanted. The surroundings were extremely peaceful - it was lovely watching the sun set each evening sitting on the comfy outdoor sofa.
  : Two things the house says it has, which it does not. The BBQ was not usable due to safety regulations. This was very disappointing as it was one of the reasons we selected the house and there was no oven in the kitchen, which meant cooking a variety of meals was limited. This was particularly annoying as the journey to the nearest (very cute and pretty) village is done an extremely bumpy and, at points, steep track. We have a 4x4 but I would have been irritated to discover this were I to have had a small hire car. In bad weather, I imagine the path gets extremely muddy. We were told there was a way to walk to the village but we tried following the directions twice and coudnt find any obvious path through wire fences. In the end, we bought enough food for our whole stay and never left the house. Lastly, the wifi is barely strong enough to send an email. We both needed to work and found calls, file sharing and the general upload/download of any data virtually non existent. We brought our portable wifi as backup but there is no phone signal so 3G/4G wont work. Perhaps we should have asked in advance and specified we intended to work remotely from the house but if the facilities say wifi you expect to be half decent.
