No complaints. The Marina cafe is next door so very close by but shuts at 3 or 4pm and the nearest pubs or shops are a drive away. Sykes website description should be amended regarding bathrooms. There are 2 ensuite bedrooms with toilet and shower, one bathroom with shower over the bath and toilet which is shared by 2 bedrooms, one of which has direct access to it. The remaining "bathroom" is a cloakroom toilet downstairs with no shower or bath.

LOVED the cleanliness of the house and the fact it was so well equipped - it was just perfect and a true home from home. This was booked as a surprise for my wifeâs special birthday and I know how particular she can be, but neednât of worried as she loved the house, the beautiful decor and the furnishings. Communications when booking were seamless - thank you so much.
