I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Well presented property, good access to shops, excellent access to the river being able to moor the boat at house jetty for the week is convenient and a time saver. Kitchen is great, and house very functional - Good value for money. ##### Daniel D. ### 8/10 Good #### Jeff B. Jun 26, 2023 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### 31 Francis Port Mac We Loved the spot. only disappointed that when we arrived the fridge wasn't on and mouldy. I found the power for the house was off. I turned it on at the power-board on, and had to clean the fridge before we could use it. The cleaners should have noticed this, and if power is left turned off, they should make sure the fridge is chocked open for storage, to prevent mould forming. ##### Jeff B.

Being able to dock our little boat for the week is a treat for us. The house is great. Having the bathroom upgraded is a good. Our only negative is the lounges. Need updating as hard to get out of. Especially for us oldies. Will see you next year. Thank youI would like to say the cleaners need to be more careful. The microwave was not clean and tge bedroom window blinds were very dusty. ##### Marilyn R. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Marilyn R.

I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love being able to bring our boat up for some fishing and being able to have use of a private jetty. The house is well appointed but the main lounge seating could be updated. Also the cleaners could do a better job. I had to clean the freezer out as was very dirty. The outdoor furniture could do with a good clean too. But all in all a lovely place. ##### Marilyn R.

Reviewer Comments: The house was very comfortable. The jetty was great to tie our boat up to. The location was great. But the cleanliness of the house was not good. I had to dust and clean before we unpacked. It put a sour taste on what was good accommodation. ##### Marilyn R. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Joe B.
