Everything was good. We liked the leafy pleasant quiet location. Large house and good clean facilities. Fenced backyard for dog (paved and garden beds). Didn't need to use the heating or extras like the bathroom heated floor! Really enjoyed the stay.

The house is in a residential area with a view of the bay from the bedroom. Shops were about 10 mins drive away. It is an older house, with renovated kitchen and bathroom. There are various types of heating in the house, so it may be cool in the winter. It was good to have bedrooms with double beds for each of our adult children. Getting to both the airport and city were straightforward. A mobile number for the host would have been helpful, as the only way of contacting them was through an app that didn't work.

A Wonderful Stay in a Beautiful Home

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this property and couldn’t be happier with our experience. The house is exactly as described - spacious, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable getaway.The location was perfect, offering a peaceful retreat while still being close to local attractions and amenities. The outdoor area was a standout, ideal for relaxing or enjoying a meal surrounded by nature.What impressed us most was the attention to detail in the home’s design and furnishings, which made it feel both luxurious and welcoming. The hosts were also fantastic - responsive, accommodating, and clearly invested in ensuring their guests have the best experience possible.We highly recommend this property and will definitely look to stay here again on our next visit. Five stars!

Thank you for your stay and feedback, Zaina. It is our responsibility to provide every guest with a comfortable environment. Our cleaning staff checked, and everything is functioning properly. It might have been due to the main switch not being turned on. We will continue to improve and provide a better experience for future stays. Warm regards Bryan

Clean, quiet and bright house

The house was neat, quiet, tidy and clean. I did notice that the hot water did seem to be timed. Occasionally we had to wait for the hot water to heat up, if a few of us were having baths or showers. This was after one or two of us had used the shower or bath. We noticed that the property didn't have an ironing board. There was an iron though. Otherwise it was a great, quiet and comfortable place to stay.

Hi Melanie, Thank you for your feedback. Our ironing board should be in the wardrobe, and we will have the housekeeper check again. Thank you again for staying with us, and we wish you all the best. Warm regards Bryan

The place was not clean, eg a rings around the spa bath. Heaters not working , 2 panel heaters partly off the wall. Broken blind. No matress protectors. Batteries not working in a huge wall clock and in tv remote. The house number was almost non existent. It felt like someone bought the property, thougth if they did very little, could make money as a short stay place. Photos not representative, at all.
