We had a brief but wonderful stay. It was very clean and comfortable. The kids loved the layout of the house and I loved the front sitting room over looking the shops and the bed :) It was more than we wanted to spend for one night but it was a great experience for all of us, and the host was very quick to respond to questions. If we didn’t have to leave so early it was as excellent location for exploring the town. We would definitely stay there again.
Great location. Clean and spacious! I really enjoyed our stay
