The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed, the views are amazing. We walked into town and back a little steep in places but we enjoyed it. Only one small thing one of the sofas was uncomfortable as it was sagging in the middle but it didn't detract from the stay we would return as we all had a great time.

Hannah was approachable and aimed to accommodate our requests. A small point post the visit of the broadband workmen the door was actually left ajar and the sliding side gate wasn't replaced.

The living room and kitchen were just the right size for our party of 8 adults, one toddler and two dogs. The four bedrooms over two floors were large and comfortable with decent family bathrooms serving each pair. The owner lives next door and was generous with welcome gifts and local advice (as well as lending us equipment from her own kitchen!). Overall, a brilliant stay in a fabulous location.
