Karen
We were a family of 12 (9 adults, 3 kids) and 3 dogs / 4 generations. Highview is conveniently situated looking over North Bay which you can take dogs on. The property was lovely and enough seating both in the dining room and the sitting room. Plenty of crockery and cutlery. The welcome package was unexpected but gratefully received. Would we stay here again? Definitely if we were a large group

The kitchen is well equipped with more than enough items for dining in. The house is decorated and furnished in an eclectic style and the location is great for walking, sightseeing and shopping. The owner provided comprehensive information for using the equipment and good local knowledge for places to visit etc. we particularly appreciated the amount of items in the welcome pack, bread, milk, butter, biscuits, donuts, drinks, fizz, beers, even sweets and Easter eggs for the kids. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend for large family groups.

! 11 people and 1 dog. Lots of space , all had own bathrooms!! House was always warm and cosy. The welcome pack was amazing and very thoughtful. Owners John and Kim were very helpful and sent us lots of information about the area and checked in with us during our stay with restaurant recommendations. House was in a perfect position looking out over the north bay. Would definitely like to go and stay here again.
