It was spotlessly clean and had all mod cons (including a dog shower and dryer). The owner messaged us before and after our stay which was a very nice personal touch. The house is situated in the heart of the town which means lots of choice of cafes/restaurants on the doorstep. This house would be very hard to beat.
