I would suggest that there could be alternative cushion covers for the sofas as there were some dirty marks on the seating cushions when we arrived. This did not detract from our enjoyment, just not what I would expect for the amount paid. Can I also suggest some more teaspoons and a slotted spoon for the kitchen. Thank you.

We have stayed in almost all of the slipways over the last 3 decades, and this is one of our favourites. The only ever-so-slight negative was the wine fridge didnât seem to work, but we managed! ;-)
