The house is great for both long term and short term stays. It has everything one may need to be comfortable. We especially loved the kitchen, the bathroom and how comfortable the beds were. We stayed for two months and we loved it. Amazing garden, singing birds and two super friendly and cuddly dogs - the recipe for heaven according to our family. Debby is a wonderful woman and a great host. She is always very friendly and here to help with anything you might need. The lovely Howick village is a short stroll away with plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants. We wholeheartedly, recommend this property.
