A lovey spacious house and great facilities and beautifully clean. We had great comfort here and will definately come back again. Just two suggestions. 1. It would be great if some extra pillows were available and thye could be of better quality. 2. We all had to use the electric shower in the upstairs ensuite as the immersion wasn't on for the main bathroom upstairs. Maybe a timer switch for the immersion for the morning and eving/night time would help with that. We had a lovely stay and will be back next year.

If you're not planning to cook much then no issues at all.

Probably could have been a little cleaner on arrival. Would benefit from more photos of the bedrooms etc & more info such as recycling info, composting bin etc. The front door needs replacing or refurbished & the lock definitely needs replacement or urgent repair. Guest information on recommendations for restaurants & things to do would also be welcome. Once these small issues are addressed I think the accommodation would achieve 5 stars
