Margaret
Mattress was way too soft and we both suffered from back pain during and after the stay. having said that, we had a brilliant time at the house. It was spacious, well equipped and perfect for a family holiday. We booked the holiday based on the fact that reviews said the bed mattress was going to be changed and this was clearly not the case.

The open plan living/dining/kitchen area is a great convivial space. Stunning view from the front of the house and large terrace. We always feel fitter upon returning as we walk down for our morning swim and then get the opportunity to get our âLyme Bayâ legs in on the walk back up.
