I would have liked to have know prior to booking that the property wasn't available until 5pm as this gives very little time to unpack, source a place for dinner before the evening has gone, its usually 3pm. There's 2 fantastic places to eat at within a couple of mins walk, unfortunatly didnt get chance to try out the cafe.

The ivy and shrubs needed cutting back and the planters were full of dead plants. It could be made to look much better with a little effort. S
