It is a wonderful place , close to everything, parking is slightly tricky but totally manageable. The house is beautiful, downstairs can be a bit cooler , I couldn’t figure out the heating system and that’s my ignorance, not the hosts quick to add . Definitely a five star. Thank you Rory.

Excellent location in town centre. Fantastic views of the estuary. We wasted so much time just sitting and looking out the windows. Very clean, very nicely furnished rooms, and well equipped kitchen. Downstairs shower, although electric, was quite powerful and piping hot. However, shower in main bathroom over the bath had no pressure. It could be used if sitting IN the bath or kneeling over the edge. Something to do with the shower head being higher than the boiler I am told. Parking a little tight getting to the allocated spaces and with a large SUV it might be a problem. Overall a brilliant stay and I am sure we will return. Thanks to the owners.

A fabulous position with views to die for! The beds were very comfortable with lovely crisp cotton bedding. The kitchen is very well equipped & you you could easily host a party with all the crockery! (not that I cooked at all)My only comment & I have passed to the host, is how steep the access path is. Definitely not for the infirm. A wonderful stay & I would definitely stay here again. Many thanks
