Lovely property in great location, great views across the creek & close to 2 pubs serving very good food. Accommodation well equipped however downstairs twin en suite room only has a bath, no shower which was very inconvenient as I was travelling with 2 friends & during recent hot weather had to keep using their bathroom upstairs as running a huge bath not practical. We had chosen 2 bathrooms for a reason.
