Steve
 The bedrooms are large and airy, with one having a good sized en-suite bathroom with shower over the bath and the other an en-suite shower and toilet.  The kitchen is small but well equipped but could be improved with decent coffee making facilities. We needed 2 car parking spaces which this property is advertised as having but the one in the garage was unusable unless it was for a very small car as there was a long bench with tools sticking out making parking impossible.  Fortunately we were out of season, so could find parking on nearby roads for one car without too much trouble. In high season that could prove tricky and expensive.Â
