8.0 out of 10, Very Good, (7 reviews)
"The house had everything we needed for our stay while we worked in the area. It was close enough for us to walk to town and the marina and to enjoy the local restaurants. It was very comfortable and thoughtfully organised. We missed having a beautiful view, but it was quiet and we slept well. Great house for a group, or family, sleeps 11."
