I was very happy to be able to have my little dog with me. The property is bright, sunny and very clean. The little extras, sweet treats, tea and coffee were very welcome.The property manager was excellent, very good communication and extremely efficient in responding to my needs.The only downside is the lack of railing back and front.Thank you Sam and Gary

We would like to give a special thank you to Glenwyn and her lovely friends for staying with us. She is our very first guest under our management, and her feedback has truly helped us improve our service.
Glenwyn asked if she could install support railings during her stay, and of course we were happy to say yes. She kindly left the railings after checkout, which will now help support and make future guests feel safer and more comfortable.
Thank you so much, Glenwyn, for your kindness, trust, and valuable feedback. Guests like you help us grow and do better every day.
