Our family of four loved staying here. Shame it was only for 2 nights! Nicol has great taste in decor and very comfortable. She has really thought about what the guest might like or need and has expertly created a spotlessly clean, calming, relaxing, comforting and beautiful atmosphere. I don't think you can walk to any businesses (I could be wrong) but who'd want to go anywhere when the house is so nice? You can however walk around the stunning neighbourhood and to parks etc. The bonus was the private garden, neighbourhood and of course the host and her family. Lovely, welcoming people!
