Very spacious, warm, well furnished and is in a good location. Shop, play area, pub and Chinese all in walking distance. Food at the Red Lion was very good. Negatives... No bin bags provided despite the listing advertising black bags would be. Soft beds. Lots of uneven and slippery steps leading up the property. When arriving in darkness outside lights were not switched on so it was very treacherous especially cartying luggage. No open fire despite this being advertised on the listing. No mention in the handbook of what to do with rubbish and recycling so we had to take it home with us. Condensation on most of the windows meant we couldn't enjoy the lovely views. The property is old so this is to be expected, but a window vac could help with this.

It's extremely comfortable and spacious with beautiful views and close to essential amenities. On arrival, the house was clean and it was unbelievably helpful to have washing up liquid, a tea towel and sponge. We had brought our teabags, sugar and milk, however there is a lovely little box with pouches in if needed. N.B last year everything was great, but this year we had issues with the downstairs shower drainage. We had to keep our showers very short as the water did not drain quick enough and was at risk of overflowing after 5 minutes. Not a criticism (we've already booked for next year) but just to maybe get it looked at. We tried to run water through the outside drain and cleared muck that gets stuck in there, but that didn't help.
