Also very nice town. There's activities to do if you arrive with kids.

We would definitely rent again. Did I mention that view?! The beds were comfy and the space was great. We enjoyed the kitchen and felt lucky to enjoy the picnic table outside. The weather was perfect. Liked having the washer and dryer available too. We had to call Sinead for help w the heat and she got us sorted right away. Some constructive comments: The house looked like it hadn't had guests for awhile. The house was clean but there was bug debris in window sills, corners and along woodwork. Not a big deal - we understand but it probably should have had a look around before we arrived. The hot water in the master bath was a bit hard for us to figure out and we made due but the water pressure was terrible. We ended up showering in the other bathrooms. You might take a look at that. Thanks for sharing your lovely house!

There were items left in cupboards and freezer by previous guests. The house was very large and big enough to accommodate all our family. Very nice
