Very clean and comfortable. And very good amenities. Absolutely spot on for our stay. Excellent location for exploring the local coast and countryside. We took our bikes, and so pleased we did, as there were quiet lanes to explore right from the doorstep. My wife in particular was very disappointed that the bath hot water tap refused to work. No bath for her! My wife opened the bedroom window the first night and dislodged a swallows nest. We were both very upset that it happened. On inspection in the morning it appeared that the nest fortunately was unoccupied, and was being constructed. Perhaps in the future a notice to bring peopleâs attention to the nests might be appropriate as there were numerous nests under the eaves, but not all visible from inside the house.

In that respect this made our holiday a really good one. However we did find the facilities to be a little tired and maybe in need of some TLC in the near future.
