Nice touch with the hamper and milk in the fridge. Beautiful house and surroundings. Only negative would be more than one loo roll per toilet for 4 people. Earlier check in than 5 pm as we felt this was very late, certainly in Winter. However none of this took away our enjoyment of the property it was a wonderful week. We look forward to coming again.
