Joanne's house is simply gorgeous. There's lovely design all around, colours, wallpaper, curtains, cushions all blend harmoniously. I loved the kitchen - gets warm very quickly, esp. with the oven on. Great lighting, units, very-well equipped - and loads of things like well-stocked coffee & biccy jars. Great cooking hob, huge oven. Dishwasher, yay!
Generous amounts of toilet roll, incidental toiletries, handcreams to enjoy while there. Both our older kids loved drawing a big old bath in the bathroom on the return. The walk-in shower a few steps up on the next floor is a great size. Lovely bedroom decor, fluffy towels, antique sets of drawers. And the dining-room is a delight, and a great place to do a jigsaw over a few days!
Cool, cosy pubs within footsteps of the house. Rosie's backroom had a great stove, generous G&T measures & great Beamish. Budds cafe just across road too. And Joanne's gift shop The Copper Merchant has lovely gifts, bags, homewares, and clothes. We'll be back! We stayed for almost a week while our kids were on mid-term & friends from Dublin joined us for the weekend - it's a great house for gatherings of family & friends.
