Lovely house at the top of the main street where there are lots of little shops and an easy to walk down to harbour, within reach of beaches, castles etc (car needed).The house itself is very modern, two areas to relax in, one of which also hosts the dining table and kitchen, two bathrooms with showers, no bath. Not a huge space outside but there is a table, chairs and umbrella. Space for car at rear of house, if parking a second car it would need to be small. Fencing/gate to keep dogs safe.Key box at back door, not front, so no need to unload at front of house.No noise heard inside from neighbours, and everyone we met was friendly. Quibbles, not enough to really affect our enjoyment: had problems with babygate needed to keep dogs downstairs, and no air fryer.Would we book Rok House again - yes, absolutely.
