    Felt very homely and comfortable. The owners have provided lots of services in house so all you really need to do in bring yourself and some food and you’re ready to go. Great place.

    Prior to arrival, Paul contacted me in the week before we came and let us know all the info we needed to gain access. He also met us on arrival to go over everything and offered some helpful advice on local attractions, bars and restaurants. The house itself was spacious and had everything we needed. All the rooms were clean and tidy and the number of bathrooms were great for a large group. The roof top garden was a welcome space as we were very lucky with the weather. We had some young children and my only advice would be for the owner to invest in some new panelling and gates to ensure safety in this area; we supervised the children at all times, so it was fine, but it would give extra peace of mind. Paul was very attentive throughout our stay and kept in contact to see if we needed anything. The card and chocolates on arrival were a lovely touch! We would definitely stay here again
