A lovely place to stay

Our group of family and close friends enjoyed staying together at this property. A real highlight is the large living space with glass sliding doors opening out to the balcony. As it was Winter, we could still enjoy the view while staying warm and cosy. Very comfortable place, well appointed kitchen, and nice quiet area.

Bayview House Review

The location was good and the views from the balcony was great. I felt the property wasn't as clean as I expected and having the shower over the bath could be a problem for older folks. The prflyscreen in the upstairs bathroom appears to have fallen out onto the roof, below making it awkward to have the window open. On the plus side, there was plenty of crockery, glasses, dishes etc. available. I look forward to seeing the property once all the alterations have been completed.

We enjoyed staying at the house, and especially enjoyed the views from the deck! Was great being able to take our dogs too. It's not the most modern or luxurious house, but it is spacious, and had everything we needed.
