We had a wonderful stay it was so quiet and the view was gorgeous.

"the house was very clean inside and extremely comfortable. However the outside was very disappointing. We never used the deck or the barbecue as it in a terrible state. A rail at the back door would have been useful to as I had a bad fall the second day we were there."
