Hidden Gem
We stayed for three nights, four girlfriends all from different states! This house was just perfect for us, close walk to shops and cafes but hidden away a bit so you really felt relaxed and away from it all. Ellen was an excellent host and her house is spotless and well appointed! Will come agai for sure.
