A fantastic stay, great location with clear communication from Host & Stay. The house itself has general wear and tear but this didn’t affect our stay and we would definitely return if visiting the area.

Perfect for a short stay for a funeral. Clean and tidy. Cheap parking opposite and good location for access to shops and restaurants.

The property was well kept. They left some body/hair wash, soap,milk & cleaning supplies. The stairs are extremely steep so I wouldn’t say young children friendly unless they are confident on stairs. All in all a great property in a great area! Nice and quite perfect for relaxing.

House very clean and location was quiet yet easily access to town which was useful to us. Kitchen is tiny and lounge is small so if there had been 4 adults - would not not have been much room. Parking close by so that was also useful. Our key issue was that we could not get into the property until 7pm (as opposed to 4pm) and having driven 5 hours from the south in time to check-in, to get a phone call at 3.30pm to say we couldn’t get in until 7pm was very frustrating to say the least. Started us off on a negative footing.
