    The loft was such a great little area to hangout from! The perfect amount of space for a group of four people staying for the weekend. We didn’t get to enjoy the backyard due to the weather, but it was so cute! Wished the floors/doors were a bit cleaner though unfortunately. It was dusty/spiders webs on the doors and floors in some areas.. Nothing too serious though! We enjoyed our experience in such a little homey and welcoming place.

    We had a nice extended stay- the house is bigger than it looks in the photos and a good size for our family of 4. Close to the beach, and had good amenities.

    This place was perfect for what we needed! My partner is a chef and he was able to throw some good stuff together in the kitchen. The bed is super comfortable, and we made a deer friend who would visit us in the morning.

    If you’re traveling with pets, I’d recommend this cute place. If not, I wouldn’t. There are definitely pet “smells”. Good location, cute place, but not as clean as I’d prefer it to be.

    House was well maintained and tidy. Felt like a true cosy vacation house with ample board games. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was stocked everything one would need to cook a simple meal. Appreciated the welcome pizza and coffee voucher too.
