Really happy with this holiday home. When we arrived towards evening after a long 7+ hour drive the heatpump had been turned on and the place was so cozy. Beautifully clean throughout, modern kitchen, comfy beds and plenty of extra bedding for when it got cold. Even some food in the kitchen pantry for us to help ourselves to. Easy to find and access. Would highly reccommend to others. Thanks for our stay, hosts! đź‘Ť

All the guys enjoyed the stay. Everything was as it said & displayed. Very tidy & comfortable. And were happy that it even had a coffee machine. The first night of staying, they were working late & got in late & were so happy, the heat pumps had been put on & the whole house was lovely & warm. Thankyou Robyn ( The lady in charge)

We booked this accommodation for an electrical team of 4 for a week. The property had everything the team needed and more! Lisa's communication was incredibly prompt.
We will definitely be booking again when we come down next :)

Thank you so much for having our workers at the house, they absolutly loved the accomodation, including where it was situated, was perfect for them to be able to turn the music up in the evenings whilst relaxing to a cold beer after work. They all thoroughly enjoyed it! The only downfall was the 2 single beds, both workers woke with very sore backs from the beds. Other than that it was excellent, thank you!

Great for families with children
We had a lovely stay with our two young children. Large fenced garden, sunny deck, toys for our toddler to play with. The house is along the main road, and you need a car to get to places. There are beautiful beaches and playgrounds no more than 10 minutes drive from the house. The hosts were very responsive and brought us extra heaters. Thanks for a lovely stay

A lovely, quiet and clean spot
What a wonderful restful place to stay after a very strange year. Lisa and Geordie made the place so welcoming for our little family, it was a real haven! Extra special mention for the comfy beds, and extra towels for summery swims. Thank you for your hospitality.
