The view from the living room is amazing. There was plenty of room for 8 of us and we all slept comfortably. The decor is lovely throughout, the only downside to our stay was that the toilet rolls had not been topped up, we found some items on the bedroom floor that must have been left by the previous guests. I would recommend bringing logs for the log burner as these were not provided. This would not put us of from returning again.

We also ate at The Mariners Pub a bit further down the other end of Rock Road, which was amazing. The house itself was clean, spacious and comfortable. The upstairs views were beautiful. A minor thing, but the blind on one of the bedrooms doesn't go down, and the 2 bathrooms have a bit of mouldy grout in places, but other than those very small details, I can't really fault the place. I would definitely stay there again.
