The terrace was a huge bonus - being able to sit out with all day sun was great. Very clean and tidy. All the basics you need and a lovely welcome pack. It does have a end of a busy season feel with carpets needing cleaning and some repairs needing doing. But not enough to put us off returning as soon as we can.

Beds were comfortable, kitchen was very well set up with all modern appliances and well equipped which made it easy to cook. Lots of little places where some proper maintenance is needed - everything looking a bit tired. And the electrical system is clearly very outdated - a fuse blew our last night there leaving no wifi, no heat or hot water. This was remedied the next day by Lyme Bay but it was a bit uncomfortable.
