We will be back for sure. Everything about this break was spot on. A door between the living room and kitchen would be good, though, to make it that much cosier in colder weather.

Beds were super and bath and shower perfect. Everything you needed in the kitchen and more. Great neighbour next door who was very kind and helpful. The best welcome pack that we've had in any rental property, for us and for our dog. Much appreciated. The only slight negative was the parking space to the front on the house, which was a bit tricky with a large car, however the kindly neighbour allowed us to park on her driveway. Wouldn't put us off returning and wouldn't hesitate to book again when in the area.
