    ! The clock on the heating/ water needs putting right ( it’s about three hours out ) so we ended up just boosting when we needed water or heating. The sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable! and we did think it very strange that there is not a bigger fridge and double oven when you are hosting for ten people. Having said that it is a lovely house in a lovely location and we had a wonderful time.

    It is extremely well located and very well furnished and equipped. When we first stayed in 2011 the property was virtually brand new and 12 years later it is sadly starting to show signs of wear and tear, much of which we imagine has been inflicted on it by other guests. The mattresses and towels would definitely benefit from being replaced and an outside light that worked would be nice.

    We last stayed at shell duck 6 years ago and it’s still nice
