Couple of small things, the stairs to the garden are stone and very steep, and there is no handrail. Both my parents struggled using these steps, so may be worth mentioning in description. Also bottom stair in house completely blends in to the floor and is easy to miss it and trip, maybe some white across the step would help. Lots if wasps in the bedroom, looked like their was a best just outside window, may be worth noting if you are allergic. The duvets are all feather and my son was sneezing and uncomfortable , went and purchased some antihistamines which helped a bit, so bear this is mind also. The location is fantastic though as are the facilities .

It was spotlessly clean and just perfect for a family stay. The secure and private grassed outdoor space was perfect for our toddler to burn off some steam and it was just gorgeous to be so close to shell island (you can see it from the garden!) and so many other beauty spots. We cannot wait to return to this gem!
