While we didn't meet Maria (our schedules collided too much), she is a really lovely host. Great at communication, left a welcome bottle of wine in the fridge along with some other necessities which proved very useful. The weekend we were staying, it was very cold and she messaged during our stay giving instructions on how to bump up the heating to constant. We really enjoyed our stay esp since we were able to bring our 2 small dogs with us. The house is immaculate (there's a little bit of a musty smell due to the fact that it''s a quite old house but this is just a tiny criticism) .We were all very comfortable there and twas great that there was Sky and WiFi. Marie left out info on all of the relevant info that we needed. The house is a few minutes walk to the Greenway and to Abbeyside beach and is in a great location while being located on a very quiet residential street. We're looking forward to a return visit soon. Thanks again Maria !
