Great property and Helena and Dominic were super responsive and so helpful. Genuinely felt like nothing was too much trouble. Lovely personal touches and we felt like we were guests in a friends house rather than a rented property. Thanks Dom and Helena.

We recently stayed at this beautiful house and had a fantastic time. It was the perfect setting for our family, especially for the kids. The hosts were incredible with their communication. The house itself was spacious and well-designed, featuring two huge living rooms that provided ample space for everyone to relax. The kitchen and dining room were equally impressive, allowing us to prepare and enjoy meals comfortably. We particularly appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, which had everything we needed for cooking, including a BBQ. One of the highlights for the kids was the wonderful outdoor space. They spent most of their days outside, having a blast on the trampoline. The outdoor area was a true gem. To top it all off, the hosts surprised us with a delicious cake, which was a delightful treat enjoyed by everyone. It was such a thoughtful gesture that added a special touch to our stay. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend this house to others.
