The whole house was spotless. Lots of room to relax both inside and outside. The house was lovely and warm on arrival and immediately felt so cozy. Location was brilliant, within a small walking distance to shops, cafes, and the paddle steamers. Would have no hesitation in returning for another stay or recommending to friends. Host was lovely!
