70th Birthday with family
My sister and I wanted to get the family together to celebrate mum's birthday. There were 8 of us and this property met our needs perfectly. I was concerned before arrival that there may not be enough room for us all to be together in the communal spaces but I needn't have worried. The lounge on the first floor is much larger than the photo on the site suggests. The dining room on the ground floor was perfect for evening meals together and the kitchen was really well equipped (plenty of glasses, crockery, mugs and utensils etc). Plenty of bathrooms for 8 adults with a toilet and shower on the first landing. A further toilet with bath on the second floor, and the master bed on the 3rd floor has its own en suite.
The house is in a great location, just a short walk from the harbour. Plenty of places to eat nearby and a waitrose a 5 minute walk from the door. I was a little concerned about parking but after unloading the cars we were able to get a spot on the street behind without any trouble.
Really is a great house for entertaining. The only minor negatives would be that a slightly later check-out could not be accommodated due to the cleaners schedule. Checkout rules request you empty the dishwasher and put all the cutlery etc away before leaving which is a bit of a pain as you can't then use the washer for your breakfast dishes on the morning of departure (normally you just turn it on when you leave).
We were lucky with a couple of really sunny mornings and made the most of the weather by taking our coffees outside. The outdoor furniture could do with a clean or have been brushed down before we arrived, obviously hadn't been used for some time.
The bedrooms were all really comfortable, mum was especially impressed with the quality of the bed linen and the views really are quite special. We would visit again without hesitation and thoroughly recommend the property for adult groups to get together.
