Fantastic place! Hosts were super helpful and friendly. Cottage had everything you needed and was very handy location for Airport side of town. Highly recommend.
Really nice property and hosts. There was a basket with some goodies waiting for us like cookies, bread and so on. Everything was clean, beautiful and warm. Hosts were very friendly. We travelled with our dog. Location is really close to the airport. Would definitely stay again 😊
We were very comfortable in this accommodation. The host Catherine was super, very friendly and accommodating. We had a dog trailer and needed to park off street. Catherine moved things around especially so we could do that. We also loved the welcome basket of treats on our arrival. A very thoughtful and kind gesture. Would definitely stay again.
My 2 teenagers and myself stayed at the property. Our hosts were super friendly, and our initial communication with them was efficient and fast. The property is clean, modern, tastefully furnished and has all the amenities one needs. The snack box and breakfast items was a welcome surprise. What made our stay extra special was the firepit our hosts laid our for us to toast some marshmallows on. I highly recommend this property and would love to stay there again if the need arise.
Easy to book, excellent communication & a hassle free process. Very welcoming & helpful. Would definitely stay again & recommend to others. Thank you Catherine & Chris
What a lovely couple. Went above and beyond to make my family happy. Cant praise this lovely couple enough. Thank you for looking after my mum and brother and opening up your BBQ area for her moko's. Highly recommend
Fab couple, very accommodating. Lovely home thought might be wee bit noisy due to airport but it was beautiful and quiet. Sitting in garden in sunshine eating fresh raspberries home grown 💯 . Will definitely be back . Highly recommended 😊
