We would have appreciated a non slip mat for the en-suite shower as the tray was very slippery and as older clients with some mobility issues we both felt slightly unsafe. Overall the property suited our family situation well and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Only criticism is the downstairs bedrooms were cold and felt a little damp at times, we couldnât figure out the heating for these bedrooms or the downstairs bathroom. Would also be useful to give more details about the walk to the house being very steep and the roads are not suitable unless you have a small car. Parking is also a nightmare and had to keep moving the cars between park and ride and street parking.
