The house as a great potential and will be even more enjoyable once the garden will be available to use. We really appreciated having access to a spa ready to be used after a long drive. Phil was quick to address any enquiries (like getting more firewood delivered) and provided many useful information to ease our stay. ##### Laureline R.

The property pays close attention to all details, making for a very easy stay. It is easy walking distance to town and the grocery store. The beach is right out the back door, so excellent access. The weather during our stay was very stormy, so it was nice to have a warm and welcoming space to hang out. Would recommend if you find the weather challenging, take in a movie at the local theater, great service and lovely place to see a film. Highly recommend this property. ##### cissy m.

Wonderful location, quiet, warm & well equipped. The wood burning fire was welcoming. Unfortunately (because of the weather) we didn’t have the opportunity to use the spa but it was clean and inviting. The only issue we had was the cleanliness of the BBQ. We were unable to use it for cooking our evening meal. Thank you & kind regards Carole Smith ##### Carole S.
