Accommodation is lovely with good amenities and standard of cleanliness. However privacy is limited if you want to be able to appreciate the views, it is not ‘secluded’ There are also a few changes that could be made to make this better. There are no dressing gowns/hooks to put towels dressing gowns outside for the hot tub and you have to go through the whole accommodation to reach the bathroom once drying off. Outside lighting is poor so in darker months some sporadic outside lighting would be beneficial for those last minute ‘wee-wees’ for dogs and also in the parking space. Not signposted from the road. No mop which in the wetter months with dogs would be handy to be able to keep the place clean. There is a load whirring noise that lingers after using the bathroom sink or flushing the toilet which is disruptive in the night.
