We enjoyed staying at the property. It has the old cottage feel sure. The rooms are spacious. Our stay was when the weather was HOT and unusual for around the shore. The A/C in the sleeping floor was taxed. The outside patio and grill is a nice added feature. There is also train tracks that boarder the backyard. Took us a minute to figure out, what was that noise? Its not an issue, its gone in seconds. You actually get use to it, even during our short stay.

Clean, accurately described, there is a lovely private paved area behind the property with a grill. The bars and restaurants are a pleasant 15 minute walk away. Suzie the host was incredibly quick to respond to any queries and suggestions. Please be aware that the garage has a fairly strong petrol smell, this didn’t bother me at all but just so you are aware (I suspect this was exacerbated by the very warm weather). All in all a very nice place to spend a relaxing few days.
