Great location too. Issues identified in some earlier reviews have been addressed, and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

We've had a perfect week and didn't want to leave. When we arrived the house was absolutely spotlessly clean and the kitchen was really well equipped with everything you could need. The appliances were really good quality. The only small downside we found was the there were no mirrors in the bedrooms on the 3rd floor, not a big issue we coped.Also some of the windows were tricky to close. Overall a fantastic property in a beautiful location. We had a fab week loved the Harbour and beaches for our kids and dog, will definitely stay again.
