Sandhurst Garden Cottage

Warwick's home is truly a beautiful safe and tranquil space, super close to all amenities, clean and very comfortable. Equipped for long stays and the stunning garden is a paradise for the dogs. Only one small thing to note is the internet is not WiFi, and if you work from home on large files, you will need to buy extra data. But will def recommend this peaceful piece of paradise.

Review for June’s Place: I had an exceptional stay at June’s Place! June is an outstanding host—warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making her guests feel at home. She went above and beyond to ensure every need was met, creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere throughout my stay. The accommodation was spotless, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything one could possibly need for a short stay. The location is also incredibly convenient, with essential stores and shopping centers just a short distance away.

Liz is awesome! Great host and was very understanding about my husband being on call and having to leave at the early hours of the morning. The place is clean and neat and although there were some issues with wifi and heating, Liz let me know beforehand and gave us an extra heater. Lots of blankets in the cupboards and access is super easy. Very safe and plenty of parking with electric closed gate and security. Would definitely stay again. Thankyou Liz!
