Thank you for your kind review of your stay with us. We're truly grateful for your positive feedback and so pleased to hear that you had a great experience
We really enjoyed the location of the property and had a wonderful time. The bathroom/laundry was basic - no basin only a laundry sink. Sitting out on the deck was a definite highlight.

Was great to be able to bring our dogs on this short family break. It was a little annoying not being able to just let them out into the yard as the property is not fenced (we did know this when we booked - it just happened to be a very cold weekend so we had to go out for toilet breaks!). We had everything we needed for spending some time together. The large stainless dining table was awesome.
We enjoyed our stay and really liked the property, there were a couple of minor issues that I contacted the owner about and will be rectified, looking forward to coming back to this property, it's on our return list.
Great quiet location with great views! Also loved the fact that it was pet friendly.
