Communicative and friendly host, property was just what we needed for our trip. Shops and coffee was walkable too! The place has an oven and washing machine which is very convenient! Dog friendly in a closed off yard. Host does have dogs upstairs so bare that in mind if you have a reactive dog, but it didn’t really bother us at all

My husband and I had 2 wonderful nights at this lovely home. Our host Chey was so lovely and helpful and even offered us a late checkout as it was Daylight Savings. The house is very private and quiet and we appreciated all the small extra touches such as lots of nice towels, toilet paper, soaps, moisturisers and the like. Also a coffee machine, milk and tea. The private balcony was another highlight. Would highly recommend to others.
