A lovely, well appointed and equipped house. Good quality furnishings and a very comfortable bed too. Handy street parking right outside. Good location, not far from supermarkets and the town centre, with a park located directly opposite. Would recommend.

What a beautiful pet friendly property in a great location! Opposite a lovely park with greenery all around but just a 5-10 minute walk into the heart of the town with some great pubs, cafes and restaurants. Just a 10 minute drive and you’re into the national park with its stunning scenery and great walks. The house truly is in an ideal location!Amazing decor inside, like it had been styled by an interior designer! Well equipped with everything we needed, no shower, but 2 bath tubs, one of which felt very luxurious. Attentive host who messaged to make sure we had checked in ok and to let us know they were on hand should we need anything. Parking pretty much right outside the property which was very convenient. All in all a great stay in a great property!

What a stunning property. A beautiful, loved home with such small intricate thoughts to make your stay stress free. Simple things like cleaning materials, hand-wash, extra towels, throws, board games and books....... I know they sound simple things, but a lot of properties miss these things out. Our host was attentive and available if we needed and he made the process so easy. It was great for our dog, with 2 parks within 100m of the property. I would highly recommend this quiet retreat if you want to just wind down and chill for a while. Whoever designed and styled this property has done it sensitively and with love and passion to provide a "hug" in the form of a house.
