Welcome and pre-stay communication from Tam and Mercia could not have been more friendly and well-judged. The main road between the airport and the property was closed, so Tam and Mercia provided great info about the alternative route and what to expect. They were also very flexible and understanding around a delay in booking due to COVID.
The house is wonderful, positioned in an incredible quiet place right next to the ocean. We stayed in winter and the fire works really well in keeping the main old part of the house - lounge and kitchen - toasty and warm.
This is absolutely five star, but one small word of warning if you're staying in winter - there is no ensuite bathroom in the main house and so you need to walk along a cold, unheated tiled corridor from the bedroom to reach the bathroom. Also the main bathroom itself is pretty basic, with a small plastic cubicle-style shower. It's perfectly functional and no big deal, just thought it was worth mentioning.
We loved our stay here. It's not really close to anything but that doesn't matter. The scenery is beautiful and there are plenty of things to do a short drive away. This is a charismatic and characterful place and would be awesome for a family stay in summer, particularly!
