Irishtown- excellent accomodation

A great property for a large family, the air conditioner was also put on for our arrival. 2 seperate lounges gave us space to spread out. Our dogs were well catered for with a fully enclosed backyard, even dog bowls left for them.

Everything that we needed + more, great location

The house was large, clean, lovely with everything that we needed + unexpected extras, I would recommend for a getaway location. 1 bedroom separate to main house, within an easy walk to the centre of town.
