Most amazing week!
Honestly one of the best holiday rentals we've had! Melissa had thought of everything for our stay, the house is immaculate and was very comfortable. We loved exploring Portland and Dorcester, and fell in love with Chesil beach. Already looking for when we can return. Thank you Melissa!
