A Cozy 2-bed Guest Flat that's family friendly

Welcome to our home in Cannonvale The 4 bed house is divided in two, with the 2- bedroom guest space being the front half. I reside in the back most of the time, so I make sure any shared spaces , like the front garden area, garage and side house area, are relaxed and friendly. It's a great option if you prefer a quieter more personal and more affordable stay rather than a standalone holiday rental. Contact me anytime through the app or phone 👍👍
