We loved everything about this house - the history of it, the views, the garden, the fabulous but cosy interior. We could have stayed here for much longer. There is also a lot to see in this region and next time we would increase our stay to at least a week. We recommend a visit to the coal mines historic site just up the road (UNESCO World Heritage, just like Port Arthur, but free and without the crowds), and our kids loved the beach at the bottom of the house - at low tide, there are thousands of little soldier crabs all over it, which they found fascinating. Catherine also provides information on all the local walks nearby. Unfortunately, we didn't stay long enough to do any of them - so we'll just have to come back!
