Nov 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent accommodation Every room was immaculately clean and tastefully dressed. The cupboards were well stocked with more than enough for 4 people. The weather was not good to us but would imagine in the spring/summer the outside space would add to the enjoyment of staying here. Will return to find out! ##### Jon S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nat B., Pleasant Hill CA Oct 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A VRBO dream We recently rented three homes in England - They were all very, very, good. Even with this tough competition, the Mac Shack stood out as an absolutely wonderful stay. From the friendly, helpful, host and hostess and their beautiful, very comfortable home, I cannot imagine a better rental. We have rented many homes from VRBO, some City apartments, country cottages, beautiful villas and even a castle. Mac shack was the equal or better than any other accommodation. Thank you for our amazing few days. ##### Nat B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### alison b.
