A lovely house , well equipped but it’s a bit awkward with toilets and bathrooms and very steep stairs to 3rd floor bedrooms . We took our own garden chairs and bbq so that we had a bit more comfort . They really need to make the downstairs kitchen more user friendly with a TV and extra armchair as we have pooches and this is where we sit in the evening .
