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.

Lovely dog friendly place

Enjoyed our 2 night stay here. Well presented and clean little property. Nice little extras of coffee and chocolate. Our 2 dogs loved the dog beds and great to have dog bowls provided. Small well fenced area for dogs in the lovely patio area. Excellent communication with host. Perfect location as close to city centre and easy to get too.

Best rental ever!

We stayed at Didi’s place for a month and wished we never had to leave. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home, but better. We felt cocooned in comfort and thoughtful details to make our stay the best it could be. The decor is beautiful, furniture and beds comfy, backyard a cozy oasis of greenery, and kitchen and bathroom thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need. And it smells good! We would love to return!

Thanks Didi

Such a great place, a home away from home. The host has thought of everything and is so accommodating, all the little things they've thought of to make us feel at home. Perfect location, it's on a busy (ish) road but with a bus stop right outside, and an easy walk down to the city centre. And a new fish n chip shop a few houses down (yum!!), with a superette too. This wee place made for a perfect getaway for two friends taking a break for a few days, thanks again.

Our stay at Didi’s Place was absolutely outstanding! The location was perfect, situated in a great area that made everything easily accessible. The house itself had everything we could possibly need, making our stay incredibly comfortable. One of the most thoughtful touches was the warm welcome upon arrival—sweets, fruits, yogurts, milk, and cereals were waiting for us, making us feel instantly at home. The house exuded a cozy, family-like atmosphere, which added to the overall charm of our experience. Every detail was carefully considered, and it truly felt like a home away from home. Without a doubt, this was a 5-star experience, and we would love to return in the future! Highly recommended!
