Any chance of a microwave. But superb property for two, great location. Unfortunately when we arrived someone had parked in our spot.

I e-mailed on the Friday (second day of our stay) for linen but received no reply. We are reasonably fit and in our 70âs but the 40 steps up to the property are quite punishing 3 times a day. Plus ferrying luggage up to and back from the Bolthole.
