Great property, plenty of space for bedrooms etc. Garden isn't much of a garden but there is a hot tub out there which is fab. Nice and clean. Kitchen did have quite a lot of ants but thats not exactly their fault, could have been the previous people staying there. Nice big TV and excellent communication from the host. Easy check in. House is definitely an older house but its warm and comfortable.

Great stay for our mountain bike tripWe stayed here for a mountain biking weekend and it was perfect for what we needed. The house was clean, comfortable, and well set up, with plenty of space for all our gear. The dedicated garage for bike storage was a huge bonus, and having tools available made it easy to sort out any quick tweaks before hitting the trails.The beds were comfy after long days riding, and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals. Location was ideal — quiet, convenient, and close to the trails and town. Communication with the host was smooth and responsive, making the whole stay stress-free.Would definitely stay here again for our next trip. Highly recommend!

Lots of beds, limited baths

Property clean with lots of beds and clean linens. Only one toilet and shower in the house, then there is one toilet in the garage and a shower in a separate laundry room (which we found when we were checking out). Well appointed kitchen and plenty of space for eating, sleeping, meeting.

Great location, comfortable house

We were a group of 3 adults & 2 tweens. Bedrooms were all nicely set up. The 4th bedroom had 4 single beds & was large & perfect for the kids also having a large tv & desk space.The lounge was big with very comfortable seating. The kitchen had everything we needed & the laundry was handy also having the 2nd shower. The main bathroom is a little dated but was still good, it has a seperate toilet with hand basin & the 2nd toilet is in the garage which works great being next to spa pool & entertaining areas. A cafe, bakery & shop is a short 5min walk & it’s a quiet neighborhood.

A good house located very near to the city

We had good time at the house. The house is located very bear to the city in a calm area. The house was very tidy and neat. Sone basic essential supplies were filled in for usage. Only issue i found was operating the tv, i think the batteries of one of the remote was flat. Otherwise we would definitely recommend Anyone especially for a large family as it has ample space for parking and stay
