I would recommend the property however there is a lack of consideration for seniors. High steps both into the property and the bi fold doors into the garden. No handles in the shower. A hand held shower head also needed. The sofa is also really low to the ground. Just a few small changes would really help the property be more accessible to senior citizens. That said the property is lovely, set in a beautiful tranquil area. We sat most evenings watching the visiting wildlife. Thank you to our host's for the lovely welcome pack, a thoughtful touch.

We discovered The Perch last year, and the moment we got home we booked it for this year's spring break. That says how much we like the cottage! And we'll be returning later this year or next year. Yes - we are THAT impressed with The Perch!
