Worth the 49 steps !

Beautiful property and a great base for exploring Russell. The house is very well furnished, the kitchen fully equipped and the views over Russell are a nice way to start and end your day. The pictures don’t really do it justice, it is even nicer than it looks. Russell’s shops, restaurants and pier are less than a 5 minute walk, and many other attractions are easily walkable as well. We can highly recommend this property and hope to come back soon.

Fantastic

Wonderful accommodation with everything you could possibly need. The views are fantastic and the 49 steps not too difficult... just get someone to carry your case The hosts were very helpful with great recommendations of where to eat and where to pick up provisions. The cheese shop en route was a great find. Communication was excellent every step of the way.
