The only real let down for me, was the extremely low bedroom roof. We kept banging our heads on the low ceiling points. At 5ft 7, I had to crawl into bed to avoid banging my head, but would inevitably forget at times. The internet was slow at times, due to being on a WiFi extender I think. But no real issue for us as we were out most of the time. Otherwise the location is great, a stones throw away from the beach. Local supermarket a short drive away and access to a range lovely walks via the car otherwise. Edward was really helpful with regards to getting the heating working too, just took a few of hours to warm up. Thank you.
