The accommodation itself is quite lovely. It’s been renovated and decorated very well inside, although the stairs to the bedroom ARE rather challenging as stated on the website, especially if you need to go downstairs to the loo at night you will have to be very careful. Beautiful views from every window and the sound of the ocean at night was very calming. Unfortunately when we arrived (I know we were early and didn’t ask “permission “ to check in early) but we were greeted by a lady who we assume was Katherine’s mother and who very rudely and abruptly informed us that “check in is not till 3.00 pm)!!” Really?? Anyone would think this was the Grand Hyatt Hotel. We’re in the middle of nowhere, it’s a Tuesday there was nobody there beforehand in fact the last guests wrote in the guest book some 2 weeks prior, the accommodation was obviously ready but this lady was not going to allow us in until she “checked” with Katherine. Secondly...when the slow combustion stove is the only form of heating, you really shouldn’t expect your guests to have to forage for kindling to start the fire. What if it had been raining? Wet wood - in the freezing cold - after 3.00 pm. And please don’t come back with “if we hadn’t been early the fire would have been set” because there’s a note in your information telling guests to find their own kindling...so- apart from this and the curdled milk left in the coffee maker, everything was lovely thank you
