Ship House was comfortable, roomy, perfectly located and well stocked with all the utensils and features one could want in a short stay. Maggie was kind a communicated well, bath towels and linen were also supplied, and the house itself featured ample parking and a great backyard for summer activities. I'd gladly come and stay again.

Stayed for a week over Christmas visiting family. House is in a great location - 10 mins walk to the beach, 20 mins to centre of town and lots of shops, restaurants and bars. The outside space is great, lovely garden and outdoor eating area too. Small barbeque which was useful. The house itself internally is quite dated and tired, although well equipped, kitchen especially. Our main difficulty was with WiFi, which is listed in the details. It’s was not there, and when I enquired there was only a 4g booster available. The signal was not strong enough for any work calls, could not download or stream anything. As a result smart TV also listed, kept freezing. I’d say moderately comfortable overall. Could really do with a refresh of bedding and furniture. Maggie was very responsive and prompt with communication.
