Shane was an excellent host, very helpful and prompt in his responses for our many questions.
For those who might be without a car (like us): There are some slopes to climb, so be prepared! The flat is at the top of a hill that makes the view possible, but if you have no car and limitations of mobility, you need to know that.
The flat was lovely, as described, with a wonderful view. Town is about a half-mile away, with everything you could need, including charming pubs (we liked Bertie's) and restaurants (good pub food at the Old Imperial).
You'll want to eat out. The kitchen infrastructure was adequate but not extensive. Do pay attention to the online instructions for working things like the hot water so you don't need to bug Shane (as we did). The info is there.
