Location was a short drive from many good restaurants and a mini golf course. Spiral staircase would be no problem for the young but would be difficult for the less agile. Washer yes but no dryer \[clothesline yes\]. All in all a nice stay. ##### Mary Y.

When we arrived the sun was out and we had all the doors and windows open and it was lovely. We did have a disturbed night though as the wind got up and the house rattled and groaned. Be warned that the shower is pretty weak, but you can still wash ok. We would definitely go back, in fact, we are going back. ##### Jungle P.

Fine for most people but for others with mobility issues, made it a bit more difficult. Spiral staircase to upstairs bedroom meant having to leave luggage downstairs and reduced accessibility. Otherwise, property was well provisioned and very comfortable. Particularly enjoyed the sun room. Would have been lovely on the front deck but for the cold wind the night we stayed. Also great to be able to do a load of washing. ##### Jenny H.
