    A full length mirror somewhere and a plug socket near a mirror for hairdrying in the main bedroom. No toilet roll holder in the main bathroom. Both shower doors didn't fit properly.

    We have booked again for June 2025 we like so much, I’ve lost count how many times we’ve been to Skimming Stones.

  • Joanna
