This was our second stay here and like the first time an excellent stay - the home is beautiful, clean and open - whether you spend time on the verandah with a book and wine or wind down on the couch inside you will be happy. Thanks again for another great stay - till next time.

Christine was absolutely amazing to deal with & she always responded so promptly. Check in details were excellent & very easy. I honestly could not believe how immaculate this cottage was & there was so many extras for us to use in the kitchen from a variety boxes of tea, coffee, oil, sauces & many other things, plenty of cleaning products & dishwashing products, multiple tea towels & what was even better was that there were a variety of serving plates & cutlery to use etc. They honestly thought of everything so when we want to do a cheese board there was enough to use and plenty crockery, cups & glasses etc. They even had a lot of toiletries to use in the bathroom. It was like we had walked into our own home. The decor was absolutely amazing, furniture was all in great condition as well as a lovely outdoor setting on the verandah to use. It is a 5 minute walk to the beach, which is also dog friendly. We took our small dog & she loved the garden which was also immaculate & plenty of shade for a pet. Honestly, this was such a wonderful break which I nearly couldn't make. I loved the whole experience & highly recommend this host. I will definately be going back without a doubt. Wonderful, wonderful & highly recommended. Immaculate home with everything, just pack your clothes that's it!!

Very happy with the property and our visit. Our only criticism is that the information available about “pet friendly” accommodation on the website was inconsistent with the information provided by the host. Information at the property requested visitors to keep their pets outside and this condition was not communicated at the time of booking. It is reasonable to assume that accommodation described as “pet friendly” would allow pets inside!

Hi John, I am glad you enjoyed your stay. I apologise but I thought I had removed anything that said no pets in the house. I know there is still something that says no pets on the furniture. Pets are welcome inside but not in furniture. We hope to see you again soon. Regards Chris & Tom
