It was comfortable, un fussy but also homely, nice bedrooms and bathrooms, lovely living room to congregate in and all in all everything we could possibly need. We were delighted with the lovely bag of local goodies - such a welcoming surprise. The only tiny thing I would say is that a bit of salt, pepper and sugar would have been useful but we survived without! One bit of information I couldnât find was what to do with the bedding when we left. We stripped the beds we used and hope we did the right thing in leaving it in a pile on the floors of the rooms. Iâd like to thank the cleaner who called me to say I had left my medication in the fridge - that was a life-saver.
