Nice and cozy place but very hidden, well-equipped kitchen but lacking some basic infrastructure.

Not really suitable for children or anyone ‘unsteady on their feet ‘ The stairs are awkward.

The toilet flush in the upstairs bathroom was extremely difficult to use, and took ages for it to refill with water. Everything else was perfect. A lovely stay and we felt at home there.
