Carmel was a really great host with plenty of communication in the lead up to our stay, and was very quick to respond to queries. The home was as described, and very clean, tidy and well equipped. The outdoor area was lovely with a pizza oven and overhead heating. It was very well suited to a group, though noting that it is mostly double beds, so it is better for couples or singles who don't mind sharing. We had a dog with us who had to stay outside under the house rules, but the yard was secure with plenty of space, and the dog was happy to stay outside.
