"Lovely location. Beautiful house and amenities. We were blessed with lovely weather and the kayaking in smooth clear waters was exceptional. Witnessing seals via the kayaks on near by rocks was special Small attention to detail would have made it five star all around.No hair dryers despite advertising they were available. No or very basic bedside lamps. Coffee percolator only functional if you brought your own filters No or very poorly designed toilet brushes.No toilet air fresheners. Certain light bulbs missing. None of this took away from a very enjoyable stay."
