Wonderful accommodation, location and facilities

We loved it the minute we walked in. All bed linen and towels were of excellent quality. Our little dog was well catered for and there were lovely touches like peanut slabs, good quality coffee and pet bowls for our little dog.

Great stay at Didi's place

We had a lovely time in Didi's charming little home. There were lots of thoughtful touches - like extra toiletries in case you forgot yours, a yummy breakfast and chocolate biscuits on the table. Everything was spotlessly clean and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. It was also great to have the fenced area for our dogs. And the dog beds were another nice touch. Overall, it was a great spot to spend a few days. Very handy to town too.
