We have some exciting news! 😁☺️

We’ve put an offer in on another property… and our offer has been accepted! 😬🏡🎉

We’re now at the mortgage and solicitors/conveyancing stage, so there’s still a way to go before it’s officially ours 🤞🏻🤞🏻 but fingers crossed everything goes smoothly!

After the success of Hilltop Retreat at Banktop, we’ve decided to take on another project, with plans to give this property a full refurb and turn it into another Airbnb! 🔨🛁🛋️

It’s going to be a BIG project, and we already know there will be plenty of dust, decisions, unexpected costs and probably a few moments of “what have we done?!” 😂

But we absolutely loved creating Hilltop Retreat@Banktop, and we’re so excited to take you along for the journey of Project #2! 👀

Watch this space… 🏡✨
