Great location. Easy and simple efforts need to be made to actually have the property presentable for this type is short term tenancy. The property was a mess with broken toaster random bins and rubbish, the windows filthy (sad because of views) and the house just not clean - i decobwebbed before my family arrived to stop them from complaining.

Great location
The house has a lovely view across the bay and is close to the ferry as well as cafes and the local hotel for evening meals. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable, but the kitchen is poorly equipped if you do choose to stay in for a meal. There was also a problem with the pump, which needed to be reset frequently.
