This was a cute place to stay. A few more instructions would have been helpful - I had to hunt for the washing machine for eg, which was in a shed around the back. The dishes and BBQ were dirty when we arrived but that would have been the previous tenants. The hammock was fab and sitting in the garden listening to the birds was wonderful.
