       The house is superbly fitted out and stocked with all the essentials, everything worked and it was really comfortable for a family of 6. Great location on Heir Island, would recommend.

      in genral it was a great hose and very comfy, but we found that there was not anything comfortabel to sit on in the garden to enjoy the sun and the view (we ended up bringing some wooden chairs outside from the sitting room, which worked fine, but probably not the best for the chairs to the moving them in and out of the house so much as they were quite heavy) 
      Some deckchairs or sun loungers and an umbrella for these and the picnic tables in the garden would make the house perfect. oh, and there is no scissors in the kitchen, so that would be useful to have. (ps - the airbnb listing specifies that there is no hairdryer and there is one, it also says there are only 3 bedrooms but there are 4 bedrooms, so might be good tothose points)  |
