Everything you need
The property was fantastic for a big group. Great place, great views and very clean and comfy. This was also the best equipped holiday home I’ve ever stayed in. Everything you need is supplied in the kitchen (cooking staples, glad wrap, foil, plus good quality and clean utensils, proper coffee machine, ice maker in fridge etc.). Proper cleaning items provided (such as dishwasher tablets, washing liquid etc… not just the annoying small packets of cleaner that you often get in holiday homes). Plenty of amenities also provided in bathrooms (toilet paper, body wash, hand wash etc.). All these small things made the stay so easy and enjoyable. Sent a few messages to the host via the Stayz app before our stay which seemed to be missed but host very responsive via phone. Tiny negative was that the house was not very soundproof internally due to loft style bedrooms upstairs - was only a problem if people were trying to sleep when others still making noise in the kitchen/dining room downstairs. Would stay again. Thanks
We had a family get together with three generations totalling 11 people. This was a lovely spacious and comfortable house with gorgeous views from the expansive deck. Kitchens (there were two) were well appointed, games room with table tennis table kept the children (and some adults) occupied, and the three bedrooms plus fully equipped laundry completed the luxury and convenience.

Ladies on the trail
Perfect location, beautiful view, well equipped, extremely spacious and lovely surprise with the complimentary bottle of wine.
Sitting on the deck in the sunshine was a lovely way to spend an afternoon after a day of walking on the trails.

Cove View Retreat
An amazing property catering for discerning travellers who like space, quality accommodation at a location that is accessible to the many attractions of St Helens, Bay of Fires and the bike trails. With 3 bathrooms, 4 double bedrooms this property recommended for like minded groups and families. We were senior motorbike riders who especially appreciated the double, lockable garage.

Beautiful outlook and sun deck
We had a weekend family stay and the space was excellent in terms of room, seating, kitchen with everything you need, including a coffee machine. Plenty of bathroom space and living areas and the sun deck is a wonderful outdoor space. If you have little children we aware that there are two very long sets of stairs. we managed around these ok, but it may not suit if you have very young children. Overall a great spot for a bigger group.

Great Holiday Break
This property is perfectly positioned in St Helens. It is close to MTB tracks, fishing and an easy ride into town. The property is perfectly suited to larger groups consisting of older children and adults. It was great to have lots of space. The facilities are excellent. It was a little complex to access as only one key worked but once we had sorted that out it was great. We left it cleaner than we arrived but it was certainly acceptable.

Perfect for a large family getaway
Two families combined for one long weekend getaway. This place was absolutely perfect. Each family had their own area to cook, dine, watch tv. Then in the evening we could join each other on the deck to enjoy a drink and check out the amazing views. We loved the coffee machine and the surround sound stereo system.
