Perfect!

House was perfect for our needs, well equipped, great shower and wonderful coffee machine with frother!! ASO nice and warm with just the heat pump on for a bit. Very well situated…we were able to walk into town along the beach walkway.Unsure if we will be back this way but if we are I would happily stay again.

Spacious stay

Large open areas and large rooms which was great for the group. Super easy location and parking instructions. A few more kitchen pots etc would be good, but overall very relaxing stay. Would recommend.

Very clean property

Very friendly hosts with a very clean property and the self help breakfast offerings are a nice touch. Bathroom and toilet situation is a little unusual in that they are situated in the small entrance hallway so I would recommend bringing a dressing gown as it feels like you could bump into the hosts here (but we never did) - the shower has excellent pressure though. The main unit entrance door has a keyless lock which is excellent - there is also an entrance to the hosts house from here. Then you go down a few stairs, passing the bathroom and toilet (and through a small laundry that is not for guest use) and then through a door into the unit proper - there is no lock on this door which felt a little strange. There is no kitchen sink so you put any dirty dishes in the laundry sink in the morning and the hosts pick them up, clean and return them to the sink for collection later in the day. You can communicate with the hosts, and them with you, via a google nest in the unit. This was something new for us and we are not sure we really liked the concept :) Heating very good, bed very comfortable and comfy pillows.
