Sep 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had such a a lovely stay. Anna was a great host. When we got there we were even gifted with a crayfish. House was well stocked with everything we needed, even wetsuits. The fire was ready to light. The beds were comfy. There was lots of seafood to gather, only across the road. We just used the three rooms in the main house but maybe next time our mother in law could come and sleep in the self contained unit. Thanks for having us. We will hopefully be back again!
