The property is described as a comfortable base for exploring the area, with a home from home feel, although no specific details on individual comforts are provided.
There is insufficient information to accurately score the facilities and maintenance, as reviews mention general equipment but do not provide enough detail for a fair assessment.
Guests have mentioned receiving a warm welcome with tea and cake, indicating thoughtfulness from the owners. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, this should be considered a pleasant addition rather than an expectation.

The view of the mountains and bay was absolutely breathtaking and the house was a very comfortable base for exploring this beautiful area. It was a quiet location away from traffic noise - complete peace and restoration.
