Beautiful property in fantastic location and beautifully furnished with first class facilities. However sadly the mattresses on the double beds were not comfortable. The bed size in the en-suite room was also problematic for us.

Just a problem at the start of the holiday with the oil fuel. The house & facilities really lovely.. Plenty of room to move about and relax. Very peaceful especially at night.
