Summer Concert

Great location, clean and tidy. Dissapointed in the bunk beds. Top bunk bed was unable to be used. There was a note regarding this when we arrived but this caused friction amongst the teenage kids as two of them then had to use the same bed. Advanced notification may have mitigated this or we may have made a different decision. There were some other minor issues with some light switches not working, possibly needed bulbs changing. Overall an average experience with the unusable bed causing significant, and unnecessary friction which distracted from what would otherwise have been a great break.

Retro home

Lovely house, great location. Nice and sunny. A dryer and heated towel rails in the bathroom, would be a great addition to this house.

Cute Cottage

This cottage was a great stay with friends for a few days. Bedrooms were a bit out of proportion, with one being quite large, while the other two were very small. Other than that it was perfect for the short stay. The host was very fast at responding prior to and after check in. And it was awesome that they turned the heating on for us prior to our arrival.
