Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.

We stayed at Carmens delightful cottage for two nights for our wedding.
Upon entering we immediately felt a cosy relaxed vibe.
We were presented with chocolates and wine and puppy treats on arrival.
We enjoyed our stay and plan to return on our one year anniversary 😀

The house was amazing. The owners clearly value the house and the experience of the people who stay there. They are great with communication, so many thoughtful touches in the house to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. A wonderful 'secret garden path' and cubby house was so much fun for our toddler. Yard was enclosed for the dog. We unfortunately managed to lock ourselves out but even this was a painless process to resolve. Thank-you!

We just loved our time again at Delightful cottage. A true home away from home that has everything you could need (plus more!) for a relaxing break. Close to the amenities, beach, and attractions, you won't be disappointed! Truly recommend. Thanks again Carmen and Frank. We'll be back!

Very enjoyable
Pre stay communications from the owner was great & made finding the location & accessing the property very easy
Follow up from the owner was great
Little things like complementary wine & chocolate upon arrival & colour coded keys for all the locks were nice touches
