Overall I was pleased but you didn't include the severely uneven floors in the property info. As a person with dysautonomia who suffers dizziness and poor balance, I needed to know that. Also, the garden table and chairs were quite disgustingly filthy and therefore unusable. They were covered in bird faeces. I know it's the seaside so there's seRead moreagulls about but that table hadn't even attempted to be cleaned for weeks or months. It meant we couldn't sit outside or eat outside even though the weather was nice enough to do so. Hide

Great location and beautiful building. We found the bed a little uncomfortable and know that our dogs need some grass in the property for next time. But we had a lovely stay and loved how close the property was to everything. The living room with the open fire was beautiful.
