The house was just as described and depicted on the website. Being able to park on site upon arrival, walk to everywhere in town, and not have to move the car until we checked out was a definite plus, as parking spots can be difficult to find. The hosts were friendly and very responsive to any of my questions.

House was perfect for a 50th birthday girls' weekend. Spotless and with the little things you don't think to pack, like paper towels. It's easy walking distance into the restaurants and shops - we didn't move the cars until we left! We especially appreciated the fireplace on a rainy day.
