Magical Escape

We arrived for our anniversary weekend and were warmly welcomed by Rod. The apartment was immaculate and beautifully decorated. It was exactly what we expected from the listing. The view is magical and the breakfast delivered to our room each morning was a real bonus and created a personal touch. Both Deborah and Rod are exceptional hosts and I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a magical escape.

Great weekend studio apartment for 2

Overall great accommodation. Only disappointed that could not accommodate dietary (coeliac)requirements for breakfast that was part of the cost.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 May 2022
Hi Margaret, thanks so much for your review & apologies for seemingly a misunderstanding. Please note that we did offer to make changes to accommodate the dietary requirements via an email through home away stayz & l also phoned you a week prior to discuss. When l received an email back saying you would be bringing some coeliac friendly items, l understood this was your preference. It was great that you could enjoy the full menu & your husband 2/3 of our breakfast. If we are provided with a detailed outline of food allergies & intolerances we always strive to make the necessary adjustment to our daily, fresh continental breakfast menu even though we are not a large hotel or restaurant.
