Aug 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Check-in was perfect and hassle-free. The place was spotless, with neat, tidy rooms and linen and towels that were super clean and fresh-smelling. The fireplace was stacked and ready to use, which made it feel extra cosy.We really appreciated the new cutlery and crockery — a lovely touch. The only minor points were that the oven could use a deeper clean (we noticed some old food scraps in the baking plate) and there was only half a roll of toilet paper provided, so packing an extra roll might be a good idea for future guests.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily come back. ##### DORETTE L.

Thanks ##### Kate C.

It was not only a house. It was a home. Cozy, warm, thoughtful. We did not feel cold during the winter. Location was accessible to dining areas and New World grocery. Kitchen was complete and have enjoyed cooking, too. Because it was winter, most plants in the garden were dry, but hopefully it will turn into green flowery plants during the spring. The range hood in the kitchen just needs a little cleaning as oil was dripping from it, but it did not bother us as it was a very minor thing. Overall, we were very happy and satisfied with this home. ##### Jo Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter E. Jul 24, 2025 ##### Peter E.
