Then up a tricky steep curved staircase which I donât think is suitable for oldish people & children, but a lovely comfortable lounge & small but adequate kitchen. Very central for days away & take away facilities from nearby grange over sands were brilliant.
Charles
Not very clean. Shower screen didn't fit and water leaked out everywhere. One of the second bedroom beds was more of a put-u-up bed with no headboard to keep the pillows in place. The internal knob on the bathroom door comes off. Knife drawer didn't open properly because of fake drawer in front of sink. Kitchen blind didn't work properly and fell down while trying to open it. Not enough room on the kitchen surface to put 4 dinner plates - microwave needs to go on brackets on the wall. Washing machine advertised didn't work. Some of these issues have been noted in the visitor book on several occasions but obviously have not been addressed.
George
No problems at all (couldn't find a mop), but as in all of the feedback beware, as the stairs are not suitable for elderly dogs or people! Anti-slip mats have been installed in response to previous comments I guess. Nice little garden - a bit of a sun trap.
