Property was excellent, very clean and so comfortable, had everything you may need including bottled water dispenser, only needed a bit of toilet paper and couldn't find any garbage bags but no big deal. Would be good if you put more instructions on how to work heater in book but was ok, turned it on and kept house warm with ambiance of open fire. Overall very impressed with property, beds comfortable, in quiet area and pet friendly but would expect that level in line with price in off peak season.

Great quiet location. Clean, comfy couches, lots of crockery/cutlery.Comfortable beds, lovely heating.Wonderful helpful staff at Hearnes. Great for pets, however there is no access to the backyard other than through the house. There is a gate however the back property places their bins in front of it and to be fair, the gate is right in front of their entrance and where their cars are parked.Would definitely stay here again :)

House was very clean and extremely well appointed, the only downside was that there was no air conditioning. As the weather was in the high 30’s it made for an uncomfortable night. It was my fault for not fully reading the description of the house.Aside from this the house was amazing and we would return but maybe during the cooler weather.

Had a great time

House was very clean and confortable. The beds were really great to sleep in and the heater heated up the entire place on the cooler days. Enjoyed living within walking distance from all the shops. Backyard was great for my poodles. Also very kid friendly - had extra books and videos for my baby to enjoy. Would love to stay again. Thank you!
