Great Spot
A hick up with the wrong door code was promptly sorted out. We arrived to a lovely warm house. Heaters on prior to our arrival! Was just perfect -being walking distance to the supermarket, town and the waterfront. Wifi was seamless. Beds so comfortable. Used ubers to go out in the evening. Had a great stay. Thank you.
