"We stayed at the beach house in a room with an outdoor tub. Not worth the extra as it’s so big it would take all day to fill ! Also no real view as only looks out onto woodland 🙁 Bed v comfy and bathroom roomy and lovely towels . It’s a 3/4 min walk to the main house for breakfast( plentiful) and dinner (expensive). It’s a shame the outdoors is not being well maintained as it’s only been open17 months, plants are dying, weeds growing ,patios grubby and parasols broken 🙁 The indoor decore is all beautiful and spa worth using . Plenty of dog owners staying"
