Other Things to Note / Good to Know

Stairs: internal and external: External stairs from driveway; internal staircase to second level

Power: Running too many appliances at once may trip the power

Fire alarm: Sensitive, so please take care when cooking and have the extraction fan turned on

The views from the living area are absolutely amazing. The location is very convenient to town, and the property is maintained impeccably, is perfectly clean and in great shape. The only thing we noted is that the twin beds in one bedroom are in need of being replaced and the kitchen is a bit dated, but still perfectly clean and very usable. We were extremely happy with this property and would come back again in a heartbeat.
