Good for a stay, decking you need to go outside to get to and the stairs are in need of repair. Has fireplace, need to bring own wood and clean out after. Has a large yard so would be good for summer with kids. Steep driveway and can miss it if not looking for it - use google maps. My only issue is the controller to the tv needs replacing as the battery would die within 20 mins off charging cable.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The home is clean, however, it wasn't as modern, fresh or thoroughly presented as it appears in the listing, and isn't what we were expecting based on the photos. The home is quite old, and the front stairs aren't particularly safe. Some of the windows are cracked, and there is mesh across the top of some windows, which made the house very cold and drafty when the heating wasn't on.Overall, we enjoyed our weekend and appreciated that the house is conveniently located close to a number of tourist spots. With some maintenance and updates I think it would be a lovely place to stay.
