Really well equipped kitchen, plenty of space and views to die for. My only concern was the low, squishy settees not ideal for hubby who has mobility problems but this would not be a problem for everyone. We all had a great week and Sian was a great host. Meeting is at the beginning of the holiday and explaining various things regarding the property.
