Reviewed Sep 18, 2025Spacious, each of us had our own bathroom and bedroom, clean, tidy, all you could need was provided. Beds were comfy, location was great, walking distance to town, and the property manager was so helpful and attentive and easy to deal with. Very happy. We’d love to come back.
There was no washing basket-the only thing we could fault! 😅

10/10
Reviewed Oct 3, 2024The house was absolutely beautiful, clean, warm & new, the beds were comfortable & everything we needed was there! Location was also very convenient & close to the town shops. The host Liana was incredibly easy & friendly to communicate with & was very contactable.
It was a bit confusing when opening the gates on the driveway, maybe a heads’ up in the key collection notes could be handy. The address is listed on Booking.com as 14 Simpkins Street, rather than 14B Simpkins Street, causing a little confusion.
