    The apartment was lovely and homely. It wasn’t far from the city at all. We were greeted at the property and made to feel at home. There was breakfast , tea and coffee included.

    Great location, stayed in the two bedroom house that had everything you needed. Very handy to town. Found it quiet, even with the location close to the airport this wasn't an issue.

    The most owners were very welcoming and friendly. Greeted us and explained a few things for our knowledge. Property was spacious, cozy, warm and felt like our home away from home. Great value for money and would definitely book again for our next...
