Couple of things, better mirrors in bedrooms would be useful. Washing up bowl needed as sink is very big and needs a lot of water. Cleaning under cushions on sofa needed. Location is great and surrounding countryside and drive to coast is fantastic. Very pretty village and we shall return. ##### Jill H.
