The kitchen & lounge area just blew us away & the bedrooms where just as beautiful and comfortable. We all absolutely loved the hot tub, this was just so welcoming ...coming back from a very long walk or the beach, just what you needed...lovelly Just a few minor negatives unfortunately, I agree with previous reviewers, the top bedroom skylights could do with covering, those in that bedroom where up with birds every morning and where not resting properly. The slats in the lower ground bed kept coming out & my lad had to resort to sleeping on the sofa. Also when we arrived the bins where full to the brim we had to wait for those to be emptied before we could start putting our rubbish in. For a large property/party maybe have another bin & larger recycle containers? Also lastly i have to mention, access to the lower ground & 1st floor have a fair few stairs so not apt for a disabled person as we found out. My sister did struggle a bit getting up & down the stairs.

For a big group there needs to be more large saucepans and casserole dishes and a couple of tea towels, some cling film and tin foil would be appreciated. There is a plentiful supply of cutlery and crockery which was great. Clear recycling instructions would also be useful and minimise the housekeeper having to resort it. Overall a lovely house which we would thoroughly recommend - thank you.
