Hi Deah,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the house clean, organised, and a great place to spend time. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are so glad you’d like to return in the future.
Best Regards,
The Team at Ready Set Stay
Amazing, spacious property for a group booking that is both family and pet friendly. We were 8 adults, 2 kids and an infant plus 2 large dogs. It was the perfect place to spend quality time with my husband's family for a couple of nights. Would be fantastic to come back when the weather is a bit warmer, but we made the most of the fire pit. The view from upstairs looking out to the bay is stunning. We enjoyed the foozball table and table tennis, as well as the games provided. Little extras like cooking oil and binoculars made it feel more like a holiday home rather than a short term rental. Families with very young children (under 5s) would need to bring safety gates for the stairs just to ensure a relaxing stay but we couldn't fault it at all!! Would definitely stay again.

Hi Alexandra,
Thank you for such an amazing and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear the property was perfect for your family (and furry friends!) and that you enjoyed the views, games, and thoughtful extras. We appreciate your note about safety gates for little ones—that’s a great tip for future guests. We’d love to welcome you back, especially when the weather is warmer so you can make even more of the outdoor spaces. Looking forward to hosting you again!
Best Regards,
