Absolutely loved Harbour View - it’s one of if not the best / well equipped houses we have ever stayed in …the location is really lovely to - i loved hearing the lanyards on the boats tinkling in the wind…We loved it so much we have booked it again for 2027…My only very small gripe was there seemed to be some springs my side of the bed that I could feel of a night but other then that everything was perfect…thank you for a nice week in your lovely home 😀
