Everything and more is supplied, you will want for nothing. Highly recommended! Very attentive, although not intrusive host. 1 problem we did have was the street light coming through the top windows in the upstairs bedroom which was quite distracting if you like a dark room. We did find it uncomfortable for sleeping. A good eye pillow would be beneficial. ##### Bobbie B. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### M C.

Plenty of space to spread out with good outdoor options too. The kitchen contains a pantry of staples to top up what you bring. Nigel was a great help with very quick responses to emails and texts. He even helped identify places for boat storage which was much appreciated. Lounge seating was a bit limited for larger groups and the TV is quite small for the space. Minor issues though for a great location, views and warm house. Would love to spend more time here in the future. Thanks Nigel. ##### Paul S.
