Well stocked. But stairs very steep. Handrail would be a good idea as step down from bedroom to bathroom a bit hard work at night. Back garden really good for dogs 🐕. Parking a bit of a nightmare if you have a big car. Lastly pub next door does not allow dogs inside 😕. Not good if it's raining. But saying all of that we enjoyed our holiday
