all good
One of the best places to stay for a few nights we've ever enjoyed here and overseas. Very comfortable bed, terrific bathroom and large room to ourselves. Along with excellent continental breakfast provisions and a fine, cheerful owner all made for a top stay. Thanks Kerry.

Most comfortable stay I have ever had
Exceptionally roomy, wondefully comfortable bed (wish that my unit was as good), well stocked kitchenette with all modcons. Beyond my expectations!
It was enjoyable and comfortable stay.
Excellent size, layout and natural lighting.
Consideration could be given to installing a splitsystem heating and cooling for individual preference/control of the guests rather than the host in the main part of the house.
Consideration of further items to be provided with breakfast provisions - e.g. yogurt, preserved fruit.

Welcome was honest and friendly. Host prepared to help with furniture shifting, washing dishes, maps
A well located property in a quiet neighbourhood. Comfortable bed and furniture. Climatically controlled, suited the cold outside. Would return.

Very spacious room with everything we needed
The room was very spacious, with a large bathroom and walk in wardrobe. It also felt like we had our own private place despite being in the house as it was close to the entrance.
Overall highly recommend if you're looking for a stay in a quiet town, but within driving distance to tourist attractions.

Great place to stay
Kerry is a welcoming host and is happy to leave you to your own devices or join you for a meal.
Great place, a large bedroom with an ensuite and all the amenities in the room that you will need for the stay. There is even a movie room for when you want to stay in.
