Well equipped, private parking and the most superb views. Nice and quiet. So many lovely walks right on the door step. Have already booked for next spring, and will book again for November 25

There was only 2 of us staying so did not use the ground floor bedroom but would have thought it would be better as a single room, but the size of the room is made clear in the description. Could have done with a bread bin and no welcome pack! The views are stunning and even better than the photographs on the website. Will definitely be back.

All the planters contained dead unwatered plants , the swing seat was unmaintained & very dirty , the patio table & chairs covered with flaking paint . The securing hook for one of the front doors was missing , a problem for easy safe access when windy . Indoors , the cleaning team had done their usual excellent job , but the main duvet really does need replacing . We know & accept that phone signals are a problem in this location , but in spite of following all instructions , we simply could not get a connection to the internet , which is so important these days ( like it or not ) for information , booking etc . The housekeeper did her very best to help us , for which we are grateful , but unsuccessfully . We had to resort to asking the neighbouring apartment if we could use their internet connection . If a guest had to stay in internet touch for important family or business reasons , they would probably be much more vocal than us ! This is a lovely location , we have had many happy times here , such a shame there is now an air of neglect , particularly outside .
