Doris was a good host. While the accommodation certainly did let the experience down, she was highly responsive when we had problems with the waste disposal breaking and sent a plumber out as soon as she received the message.
However, while we all had a lovely time in LA, the accommodation was simply not worth the money. As we read in previous reviews, the outside area was indeed in need of a freshen up as it looked tired. The fencing was clearly very old along with the pool floor being dirty. A few days after arriving the pool cleaner and grass cutters arrived which did make it a bit more pleasant outside. Similarly, the inflatables provided were a real bonus.

The amenities were rather lacking. There was only one knife which made cooking hard and there was little basic equipment- (No peeler, grater, pizza cutter, oven dishes, oven gloves, broom, hoover or ironing board, despite there being an iron). Upon arrival, we found the drawers and cupboards to be in need of a real clean, as clearly had not had a proper clean in a while. Similarly, the refrigerator was dirty and the ice dispenser had black dirt on it so had to be completely washed out. The bedrooms, while accurate to the pictures, were dirty underneath the beds and the poorly fitted sheets were inconvenient. After asking where the washing machine and dryer were located (in the garage), we were given the code for the garage to find it clearly was used as a storage room for equipment for other places and the floor was filthy.

While the holiday was great, the accommodation did let us down after paying all that money to find it dirty and lacking basic equipment. The location is good, however, a car is necessary if wanting to travel into the city and to the main tourist areas.
