I am disabled and was worried after I had booked that I didn't ask if there was a loo downstairs. On arrival I was delighted to find that there was a bedroom downstairs with en-suite. Bonus! So if you have mobility issues this place is perfect.
Additionally, we have never been any where that was so well appointed. Everything that we needed was supplied. The kitchen had every tool, pot, pan, crockery, cutlery and appliance necessary. There were also many thoughtful gestures like a bottle of milk, a loaf of bread, tea, coffee etc and there were dishwasher tablets and detergents for our use. Really nice soft and spotlessly clean good quality bedding.
Great walks for the family and dogs and we used two of the restaurants that Jennie recommended. Both were superb. We had a great family get-together at a great place.
Highly recommended.
