Such a fantastic house with lots of history, in an amazing location. We enjoyed walks in the estuary whatever the weather!

Bit of an issue to not have any outdoor space to sit outside. All terrace and chairs belong to the downstairs flat. No hot water without the immersion heater and then not enough for a bath. There was no welcome package - no tea, bread, milk, dishwasher tablets⦠actually nothing. Maybe for the cost it would be good to have been left something.

I never want to leave, the peace and Beauty are second to none.
