Everything was in working order. The place was clean, the beds were soft, the hosts were highly hospitable. Thank you George and Emma! The location was a lovely, quiet place in walking distance from the water, with a peaceful garden that attracted birds.

Easy to drive to the shops. Scenic walks. Quiet street.
We had a great stay at George's place. Comfortable and cosy. We tried the local coffee shop, fish and chip shop, and pub and found they were all great meals.
The place was perfect, super clean and organised. Host was extremely helpful and friendly making sure we had everything we needed and even showed us a nice place for sunset. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!!

It is always nice to have good people come and stay. They seemed to enjoy the house and the area and left the place super super clean. Thankyou!!
It was very welcoming and homely upon driving up the driveway. The birds of a morning were wonderful to listen to. We even saw a king parrot one morning. We stayed there as it was in the same street as family, but if you were using as a base, still fabulous and close to wherever you’re going.Very quiet area and nice walks close by the water.
