Our family enjoyed a lovely long weekend in this extremely comfortable and spotless home which was very well equipped for all our needs. A few initial issues were promptly and courteously attended to by the agent. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

We stayed here for a girls’ weekend, and the house was second to none! Absolutely beautiful, comfortable, and stunning in every way. The Jellis Craig Team and Claire Smith were amazing, making everything easy and enjoyable from start to finish. The owners didn’t skip a beat with every aspect of the home — everything was spotless, thoughtfully styled, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The attention to detail made it feel extra special and welcoming; we didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a stylish, comfortable, and memorable stay!
