Summary: From the time of making our reservation, the process has been smooth, including a phone call from Catherine, the owner within a day of the reservation being confirmed and, follow-up emails with helpful details (even bringing along slippers!). The well-kept house is located in a quiet cul-de-sac, a few meters from the dog-park and, a 15-min stroll along the river to the town, or 10 minutes' walk along the road. A really lovely surprise was the house being heated for our arrival, along with the complementary treats and tote bag! The appliances are of reputable makes and worked very well and, what comfy beds!
