    “We have stayed in other properties in cumber close and have found them to be very comfortable and well equipped.”

    Merlin was a huge disappointment. When we arrived the house smelt extremely damp and not at all clean. We found damp patches in both bedrooms and the living room. The sofas are not at all comfortable to sit on. The window frames were dirty. The blind on the smaller bedroom was mouldy. Whilst I usually take reviews with a pinch of salt the reviews in this property are totally accurate about the property. The area however continues to be incredibly beautiful and never lets you down.
