Run down
Yard was not dog secure. There was rat poison traps all around the outside of house. There was a dead rat in the garage. Lawns had not been mowed. Unsatisfactory outdoor seating. Cobwebs throughout interior.

Perfect location, great for pets
Wow! We were really impressed with our stay here. First, the reception staff was super friendly and welcoming. The property itself was very clean and spacious, the five of us found it very relaxing. Shops for takeaway and morning coffee are walking distance, as is the beach, so the location is perfect. Best of all there is a large fully enclosed back yard, so our Jack Russell had plenty of space to run around and play fetch. A+ stay, thank you!

Great location but small
The house looks huge in the pictures and the backyard definitely is. But inside is very tight. The house just seemed unfinished. Doors not even painted stained carpet and rock hard beds. Great location only a short worn to town

Great budget stay
A great property that has an awesome fenced yard for dogs and not far to shops and beach. The bedroom carpet could do with a clean (made my friend nervous), but otherwise all the basics were supplied. Because the power was out on the island for several hours when we arrived, the house should have supplied candles/torch (as per other rentals I have had) - lucky our phones had enough charge to use their torches. On the whole, a pleasant stay for the two couples and although the weather (being winter) was inclement, we still did lots of exploring.
