Miri
Came as friends and were extremely impressed with the house- not like the pictures on the website, MUCH BETTER!!!! It was a holiday to remember and very relaxing! Convenient store literally a few doors away! We came by train and was honestly so easy to find our way to the cottage, only about a four minute walk. We would highly recommend to everyone! Looking forward to coming again hopefully!! Thank you!!!

We were 6 adults & we were able to relax in comfort. The weather was not good so we took advantage of the good range of DVD's & played cards with a glass or two. The owners were welcoming & very friendly.
