Cosy accomidation with everything thing you need. Loved the open plan kitchen / living room area. Fire was a lovely touch to the stay. Would highly recommend and look forward to staying again in the furure.
Clean, tidy and kept us warm from the nasty storm outside. Really enjoyed our stay

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
lovely home to stay
Being given the wrong code for the lock box tried calling the number we were given got recorded message then hung up on us leaving us thinking. Lucky we know the owner of the property we called them and got the code off them.
The kitchen extractor fan smelled of fan the vents need to be clean. It is a lovely home.
We were very pleased with the overall cleanliness, comfort and location. Linen was not supplied but was quickly rectified with a phone call, the heat pump was on for us, sadly covid intervened and had to leave after 1st night, would like to stay again!
Lovely location and property. Only area that I suggest improvement is property manager wanted to meet us during our stay with no apparent reason. We were busy but it did ass unnecessary pressure. When you go away you don’t really want to have to meet anyone or feel obliged to do so. Some of the communication felt a bit tense but difficult to read due to text / emailing.

Lovely place to stay, would not recommend for toddlers as its really nice and modern and finger marks everywhere on glass. Other than that, close to park and beach was amazing. Would love to go back there without the babies though :)

Lovely place to stay.
Lovely place to stay. Presentation was fabulous, lovely and clean, and modern but most of all warm and homely. On arrival the wood was in the basket ready for the fire and the towels folded as swans on the bed was a lovely touch. Open fire created a lovely ambiance and the kitchen was fantastic. We just loved it. Thanks so much.

Super handy to kids playground (2 min walk) and only a short walk to the beach (5min).
Super handy to kids playground (2 min walk) and only a short walk to the beach (5min). I found the house very relaxing, open plan, decks, high ceilings. Just have to be happy to have all occupants going through the main bedroom to the bathroom ie a family. I would definitely stay again.

Lovely property and everything all nice and new.
Lovely property and everything all nice and new. We stayed in August though and was a little chilly (warmed up fairly quickly with the lovely fire) but could do with a rug in the lounge to take the chill off. Apart from that lovely, pleasant stay.

Very clean and comfortable.
Very clean and comfortable. Positioned extremely well to enjoy all day sun. Star rating would have been 5 out of 5 if the bathroom in the main house was accessible without having to go through the bedroom. We booked the place for 2 couples and a baby (one couple and the baby in the main room) and it made using the bathroom quite problematic. We would stay here again but only as a single couple and our baby. I think the accessibility of the bathroom should be noted on the website.
