Enjoyed this property. Plenty of space in the house and better still, no stairs which made life much easier for elderly mother.

I loved the atmosphere the property gives. The nod to the previous renovations adds character and tells a story. Quiet location and parking was good. Sue was a dream to deal with and I would stay again and recommend others in the future.

Basic unit in need of a number of repairs
The initial impression of the unit was good but upon using the space we found the bathroom tap was loose and leaking, one burner on the stove did not work, wall paper strip was off and the sitting area couch was very saggy and uncomfortable. You need to pull out onto the road near the crest of a curve so it was hard to see oncoming traffic, and there were limited restaurants nearby.
