Excellent Space!

We rented this property for a weekend film shoot, and every step of sorting out and utilising the space was impeccable. Angela and Jeffrey were very accommodating and communicative, and the space itself was exactly the lovely look and feel we were searching for. Highly recommend this listing if you’re looking for a weekend trip!

A place to get away from the noises of city life.

From beginning to end, communication from the owners was great. The place was very well kept. The home was Comfortable and Cozy. It didn’t lack a thing. We just wish we didn’t have to return to reality.
