Quiet, serene and even though the stairs are a bit for a man with my back, it has been equipped to make the ups and downs easy. Its location is superb for all the surrounding countryside and the beach. The garden is a dream. The kitchen is fab. I didn't actually miss home. Bravo.

Would have liked to have been informed of the very steep and narrow staircase prior to booking, would a rope bannister help? Must say what a wonderful garden and the flowers and wine we're very much appreciated. Also, the quality of towels and bedding outstanding

The house was comfortable and well looked after - a really nicely renovated old building. Our only critiques are the wifi - realising this is out in the sticks we weren't expecting too much but 67Mb is available at this address and the wifi as is falls far short of this. It was difficult to maintain video calls, etc. We would also have preferred fitted sheets on the bed - using normal sheets as under sheets just means having to continuously tuck them in all night. Finally, we could have done with fans in the house as it was quite warm. One thing to note for families, the trundle is put in the master bedroom (which is noted in the advert). We actually moved ours to the second bedroom as we didn't want one of the kids in with us - so this is a slight inconvenience to note if you are booking as a family of 4.
