Blue Drift Reviews

Fantastic property, furnishings are to a very high standard and so many little extras, no need to buy shampoo and shower gel or washing up liquid as all supplied where other properties give the bare minimum! Couldnt fault the communication either, we had a lovely stay, only a couple of minor issues which might not bother others but being on holiday you might want a lie in, next door neighbours children were up early for school and proceeded to run up and down and shout at the top of their voices which woke us all up a couple of days at 7.308.00! Also no salt in dishwasher so had to buy some or couldnt use it, as I said only a couple of small issues which didnt ruin the stay. Also the pathway to the neighbouring road to park a third car was treacherous due to all the rain as it was grass, path could do with being paved one day.
Excellent property high quality furnishings and equipment. Owner kept in touch and sends numerous instructions. Only disappointment is location not really able to walk from property if you have pushchair or wheelchair, could do with a path as its a new housing development maybe the path might be extended on the main road so u can walk more .
