A hidden gem

Out of the main area, quiet, walk to shops, coffee, and beach, this was a really good find. An open grass area next door, day and afternoon sun, clean as a whistle, exceptional quality range of all you could possibly need without clutter, modern retro feel, large bathroom, large main bedroom, lovely cozy second bedroom, very soft beds, smallish lounge area/space, all linen / towels provided :), loved reading in the red armchair, O and X's toilet paper a cute touch. Very happy and comfortable staying here, like being in your own appartment.

Well kept property in The Mount

The property was nice and the owner friendly. Everything worked and was clean. It was a little smaller than it appeared on the website with a lot of furniture in quite a small space but we were made welcome and it suited our purposes as we were not at home for most of the time and just looking for somewhere to get ready for our son's wedding.

Perfect sanctuary close to beach

We love this place and have now booked for next year - that will make it three years in a row that we have chosen to holiday here. We have stayed at other places in the Mount but this place is by far our favourite. It’s comfortable (gorgeous furnishings, decor) value for money, has everything you need (coffee machine, bbq, fridge, outdoor area, Netflix) and is in a great location. Not to mention that the owners are real chill and super welcoming. I don’t think I actually want to holiday anywhere else! 5 star every time.

Beautiful property, close to beach and town centre

We had an incredible time at Hank and Dottie’s place! The property was beautifully presented, gorgeous furnishings and a really lovely feel about it! We loved being so close to the beach and town centre, as well as the local supermarket - but also having a quiet place to come back to after our busy days exploring. Everything felt so easy! The property is in perfect condition, really spacious, just lovely to spend time at. And our hosts were the loveliest people! So friendly, so helpful, so accommodating and thoughtful. We would highly recommend this accommodation and we hope to return one day ourselves! Incredibly well priced for the quality and location. Very family friendly and safe as well. Thank you so much Hank and Dottie! Hope to see you again sometime!
