My family and I had a wonderful holiday in his house. The house was stunning and perfect for us and my toy poodle. Nick was not intrusive which made us feel comfortable and at home. I have rented many holiday homes and Nicks was by far the nicest. ##### Marina F. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Diane D. 29 Dec 2025 ##### Diane D.
