Relaxing

Great location for water access and heaps of room around the house for cars and trailers. Very walk to the Pub for a meal or drink and lovely area downstairs for relaxing at night. Can be a bit noisy on busy weekend due to proximity to pub but very manageable.

Great weekend

Property was as described in a great location close to water and pub. The backyard has so much room for everyone to hang out, the fire pit was amazing with the clear night stars. Property is dog friendly although small dogs could potentially get through the front gate.

Loved the house, but noisy neighbours

We loved this house, it's nicely presented, with a cosy feeling in the living area with a fireplace and nice decor. On the Saturday night, however, the neighbours had a very noisy party until well after midnight. They also had a dog barking for ages through the night.

We were very disappointed with the cleanliness of the towels at the property; some were threadbare in places and many were badly stained. The property was advertised with wifi; the owner confirmed there was no wifi when we messaged to question it. Also 2 of the advertised toilets were external to the home as was one of the advertised bathrooms - down 15 external stairs is not ‘in’ the property! We struggled with one toilet inside the only internal bathroom for 5 adults! Not good value for what we paid at all sadly. Owner was nice to deal with but that does not make up for the downfalls of the property.

Great stay for a family holiday

This property was a great place to stay in for a family holiday. It has beautiful views, it’s easily accessible and located in a very convenient area. Everything in the house was provided so that was great! However, the dining table only sat 6 people, even though the house accommodates up to 8 people. If it accommodates 8, the dining table should be bigger. The second bathroom also requires going outside and downstairs which should have been stated in the listing as we thought it would be inside the house.
