Summary: We absolutely loved our time at Alastair's property. Everything was impeccably maintained, with quality appliances throughout and some of the most comfortable beds we've experienced. The decor is beautifully done – it has that warm, homely feel that makes you want to curl up and stay forever. The location couldn't be better, whether you're exploring the city or getting children settled at the nearby universities. But what really made our stay special was Alastair himself. He went above and beyond as a host, sharing wonderful local tips and making sure we had everything we needed. We genuinely wish we could have extended our stay, but now we completely understand why this place is booked solid! If you get the chance to stay here, don't hesitate. Thank you for everything, Alastair – you're truly a gem!
