Excellent

The property worked well for us. The beds were super comfy. The master bedroom had good closet space and the living room, kitchen and outdoor area were all large. The location was close to everything. Some challenges however: no-wifi (which we were aware of but still not ideal), no closet space in second bedroom, no hair-dryer, shower could do with updating, lots of rules - a one-bag rubbish rule (and not a large bag) was not something that friends staying in other houses were given so unsure if it is a council rule as documented, and microwave didn't work. These are not complaints, just feedback for property manager / owner to consider for improvements if wanted.

Thank you for bringing these to our attention, you are allowed to leave one big black sack behind which is provided at the property for you.
Thank you for your review Therese.
Excellent value. Quiet and private are 2 attributes that jump out. Negatives? Few, but no internet and no dryer were disclosed--not a surprise--but we are used to these being "standard". Also, we had to purchase (or "replenish") a number of things we don't usually need to. For example: Garbage bags, toilet paper, dish washing soap, paper toweling (there were no dish towels!--we even bought those).
Chocolates welcoming bag was much appreciated.
