Cute little place, just perfect for our short stay. Loved the dog amenities and although there is not a yard, there is a sidewalk on the quiet tree lined street for walking your dog. I also appreciated the ability to sit outside with my morning coffee. Also appreciated the coffee pods and machine!

We had a comfortable , quiet experience. Within driving distance of all the destinations we planned to see. A short walk to a lovely Irish pub wit amazing food. Our virbo host was accommodating and available when we needed. I reccomend this first rate little home away from home. private entrance was available with a private patio.
