Graham and Mary are great hosts, the stables are quirky but very nice, perfectly situated for trips to the beaches and attractions of the area, horse flies are a nuisance but easy to deal with!My only reservation was the glasses for drinks were a little random but the rest of the kitchen is well equipped seating front and rear and perfect top floor lounge for the views

Basic but lovely people. Im 77 and could have used a wall handle and non-slip mat in bath/shower. I fell over and bashed my head.
