This property was only a minute walk from all the shops, coffee and beach! We loved it. The house was clean, the heating worked so well, beds were comfy and we didn’t need to use our cars once.

An amazing house and garden!!
Just needs some more outdoor seating.
The spaces are fabulous
You can find a quiet space on your own and there are so many different spaces for large groups.We adored our stay and will be back!!
Great property with multiple living, cooking and sleeping zones. Which was very handy when you have kids requiring naps during the day. The only call out is a lack of chopping boards as we could only find one small board.

Thank you for the positive review Bianca, we are glad to hear you had a great stay!
Location was perfect as was the gardens and outdoor eating areas. The beds were comfortable dressed with good linen. Perhaps because of frequent trips with this group and the fact that we paid premium price for the accommodation we thought a lot more could be done to warrant such high prices. For example scant supplies or no pepper salt oil foil and other such staples you would expect. There were no tissues and bathroom products meagre gor so many people
This property was clean and spacious with different areas to sit depending on the time of day. We sat upstairs in the morning and downstairs in the evening.

This property was perfect for a large group of people. There was enough room for everyone to spread-out.
The location was perfect. Walking distance to most if not all restaurants. The beach is a block away.
We had booked another property but unfortunately wasn’t available. The rental company found us this property straight away.

Perfect stay
The place was perfect for what we were lookibg for. There were a couple of thing that weren't organised, like there was a fire but nothing to chop the wood, no guard or anything to start it. The heaters in the rooms wouldn't switch on! Other than that though we had a wonderful time and the company who looked after us were exceptional!
