What a lovely property, quality build with superb internal fixtures and fittings. Confused at the number of light switches. Unfortunately, we didn't find the bed very comfortable and small for king size (personal taste) the quilt heavy and pillows hard, which affected our sleep.Despite the bed issue, the whole property was exceptional. The garden perfect and secure for our little dog.We very much hope to come back as soon as we can
