Issues with Hot Water
There is a major issue with the Hot water at the property - needs a complete re-do.We had no hot water for 4 days. From other reviews in December - it has been an ongoing issue.

Comfortable property in a good location
We enjoyed our stay in the property. It was well equipped, had very comfortable beds, and was in a good location. Bachcare, the agent, were responsive, when required. The only negatives were the intermittent hot water in the shower (everywhere else the hot water was fine) and the very neglected garden area.
Fabulous location for us. Great, homely space, excellent facilities.

Wonderfully warm and welcoming home
Having just moved from Canada and jumping from VRBO to VRBO until we settle into a place of our own, this home immediately felt warm and welcoming upon arrival. The house had such character and beautiful features and didn’t feel sterile or unlived in as some VRBO’s can sometimes feel. Great location close to shops and cafes. Truly a wonderful stay!
