Lovely stand alone home with log fire, all mod cons, off street parking and a great view of the mountains across the back yard from the living area. Excellent communications from the host, and good advice re local restaurants and cafes. Would stay again.

Quiet Family Getaway

We had a lovely stay with a home away from home feel, cosy fireplace and warm comfy beds. Nice selection of books and board games. Almost too convenient to the Bakehouse and famous pies. Scenic views of mountains. Excellent communication from hosts and easy check in/out.
