Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, clean and tidy. Loved the front porch. Really nicely renovated, however, would have appreciated more lounge seating as it seats only 4; limited for a 4 bedroom house. The cutlery and crockery should really be updated. Would love to stay again.

Even though the real estate showed a text with the keys lock combination, we didn’t receive it & the host didn’t reply to our text email or calls for 3hr & at 9pm at night. So we had to find other accomodation in another town. The dog outside area was cement so not suitable to let our dog out without supervision. No complimentary cup of tea offered &
