Everything you could possibly want

Ship House was comfortable, roomy, perfectly located and well stocked with all the utensils and features one could want in a short stay. Maggie was kind a communicated well, bath towels and linen were also supplied, and the house itself featured ample parking and a great backyard for summer activities. I'd gladly come and stay again.

Delightful

I took my teenage daughters away for five nights and we all absolutely loved Ship House. Beautiful surroundings, quiet area, gorgeous decor, and very comfortable. Maggie was very helpful and left detailed instructions which were easy to follow.

Neat with plenty of room to play

Great place with plenty of space. A little tough to get to the shops due to the uphill/downhill but good location overall. Would definitely recommend for large families.

Spacious house with lovely garden

The house was spacious and the gardens are lovely. The 2 double beds were comfortable , and it was good to have 2 bathrooms. We were disappointed in the lack of items in the house. Most places we stay have basics like soaps, hand towels, and basic kitchen essentials like salt/pepper/plastic wrap/ oil. The house is really hot upstairs and while there are air cons in the 3 bedrooms, it seemed wasteful to have to use them when the temperature was only mid twenties. There were no windows to open in the 1st bedroom , and leaving the door open allowed a lovely breeze but there was no wire screen (or security screen )and it let in insects and cockroaches.
