The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests describing it as 'spotlessly clean' and 'well maintained'. One review mentioned a smell on the sofa, but this appears to be an isolated incident.
The location is frequently lauded for its stunning views and proximity to local attractions. It is well-positioned for exploring the area, although one review mentioned limited outdoor space.
Comfort is a strong point, with numerous mentions of 'comfy beds' and 'fab showers'. However, a comment about small lounge chairs and noise due to wooden flooring slightly affects the score.

Guests often mention the thoughtful touches, such as welcome packs and prompt communication from the owner. While these gifts are highly appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed.
